[edit] Formulaic

Dicdef, bordeline nonsense. Alr 22:28, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki to Wiktionary - word is existant and in use in literary criticism DV8 2XL 22:53, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy as patent nonsense of the second kind: "irredemably confused". Do not transwiki, as Wiktionary wouldn't want tripe like this, and other Wiki's are not AfD's dumping ground. -Splash 23:19, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or rewite and transwiki. This is not nonsense -- I have no problem following the imagery here, and if this appeard in a critical essay I might even praise the writing. (it is saying that a fomulaic movie or book is like a meal created strictly by recipie, w/no originality, and i agree.) The writing is a bit too poetic for wikipedia, and as it stands it is nothing but a defiination, if not precisely a dicdef. Could possibly be merged into an article on Literary creativity or List of terms in literary criticism (if either existed) or some such topic, but not a proper wikipedia article as it stands, and article titles are not usually adjectives.

• Delete. Not worth the effort to transwiki. --Carnildo 23:41, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
