[edit] The Bronze Ring

While it has been recently noted to be wikified, this is nothing more then just a story, falling under either WP:V or WP:CV, there is no encyclopedic value. Gay Cdn 22:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki to wikisource. Delete Tyrenius is correct. It can be found on the Web by Googling for Traditions Populaires de l’Asie Mineure Dlyons493 Talk 00:19, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete it is the retelling of a story not a reprint of the original which is here. So it is verified, and it's not a copyvio, nor is it an encyclopedic article as it stands. Tyrenius 00:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Note from the writer of the article - this article is a synopsis of the story "The Bronze Ring". Its encyclopedic value lies in the fact that Wikipedia has a page on Andrew Lang which lists all his color fairy books, including "The Blue Fairy Book". If the title is clicked, the table of contents are listed. Many of the stories have been summarized, but several have not. The Bronze Ring was one that was not summarized until I did so recently. It has no copyright violation. It was summarized from my personal first edition of the Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang. Can you advise me on improving it? I'll try to put in links that go back to the other Wikipedia articles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nssanes (talk • contribs) 00:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Nssanes. Some cleanup work needed, but the rest of Lang's fairy-stories are notable, and I see no reason for this one to be any different. Tevildo 10:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
