 * Delete because there is original research with some of the interpretations (saying the book was "undeniably darker and more violent", for example) while other comparisons are indiscriminate in saying this character/object existed in this medium, but not in that medium (per MOS:FILM). An article needs to be built on reliable, secondary sources.  If there is any attempt to add new content, merge it to the 1939 film article to show how it is different from its source material. — Erik  (talk • contrib) 13:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Userfy. Once cited it would be a nice essay.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 17:24, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a valid topic, but a classic book and a classic film deserve better than this. There have been so many studies of both the 1900 book and the 1939 film that there's no reason to do this as pure original research.  I think that many of us have had the same experience when we first read L. Frank Baum-- "Hey, that wasn't in the movie."  . Mandsford (talk) 23:53, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
