Wikipedia talk:Summaries

Stemming from the previously unwieldly Harry Potter (plot) and the VfD discussion on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Full Plot Summary, I thought that a policy or at least guideline should be made on the matter. My proposed policy, perhaps to be inserted in the Manual of Style is as follows (written by User:Radiant! at Fiction) (elided, see project page)

Some discussion is at: Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style, Village_pump_(policy)/Archive I, Wikipedia_talk:What_Wikipedia_is_not, and Wikipedia talk:Fiction. - Jamesmusik 2005-07-21 08:32:31 UTC

 * I support this. I would add something like Plot summaries long enough to require splitting out a separate page from what is otherwise a reasonable page on a sereis or gorup of works are generally a poor idea. DES 21:37, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * There have been a couple such pages moved to WikiBooks. How about making this into policy (with a caveat: if WikiBooks doesn't want it, tough)? Septentrionalis 22:58, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * How about In other instances, it may be more appropriate to transwiki the summary to Wikibooks. This should only be done according to Wikibooks' policies and guidelines. James 23:26, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
