 * Delete. Seems to be a copy-pasted college essay. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 16:02, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Inexperienced editor, who first created this article at posting an article on wikipedia. I did post a note about how to make a first article, as well as explaining the issues with the current article, also linking to the existing article A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (novel), suggesting that they work on that using material if they have sources. I also explained why the header that they turned into the title was not an appropriate article name, but I am guessing they did not take the time to read my note. While sources are given, there are no inline citations, and it would appear to be, as suggested above, a self-written essay of some kind, but does not seem to provide any real context.

 * Delete as a personal essay full of OR and first person (and one heck of a long title too, but that's not really relevant). Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 18:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like a high-school essay or something of the sort. Half of it is made up of a single quote from the novel, and the other half doesn't say all that much about women writers or the female experience during the Industrial Revolution (&c). This isn't worth a standalone article (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (novel) is rather short as it is), and I don't see anything here which could usefully be merged to the existing article.
