[edit] Vestal with a heart of coal

Tagged for speedy deletion with no reason given, I am bringing it here in case it can be rescued. This is an article about an alleged type of stock character, the opposite of a hooker with a heart of gold. Unfortunately the title appears to be a neologism, with 0 google hits, and there are no references to demonstrate that this is anything other than original research.

  • I made this article; was unaware of the citing issues. It was something discussed in my undergraduate literature class, but we didn't delve into anything too deep. Feel free to delete; sorry for the trouble. Jsbee 01:40, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as it stands. It could become an interesting article, but the name is simply non-notable/akward, and there needs to be more research. — The Hooded Man ♃♂ 05:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There may be potential for an article about this type of stock character. However, there would have to be significantly more examples, and there would have to be a commonly recognized name for the archetype -- "vestal with a heart of coal" is probably not going to be it. I encourage User:Jsbee to research this topic some more and possibly try again later, and recommend discussing the subject at Talk:Stock character. --Metropolitan90 08:38, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Userfy so the user who wrote it can bring it up to scratch before reposting. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:35, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. There's some good stuff in that article, but the name is going to make it hard to find ('ice maiden'?). I'd add it to the Stock character page. --Squiddy 10:19, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and possibly rename. Notable archetype, not sure what to call it though. -- MisterHand 17:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
