Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hospitality in the Odyssey

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. I combined the remarks here with those at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Customs in the Odyssey, since they are about the same topic. I see Kjkolb nominating the aritcle, Andrew pmk, Daniel Lotspeich, and Rd232 arguing for deletion, and Bikeable, CastAStone, and an anonymous editor arguing that it be kept. A tough decision, but considering all arguments, I made this into a delete. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 21:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hospitality in the Odyssey

Material is copied from the Odyssey article, just like Customs in the Odyssey. Okay, I just noticed that the same person added the text to the Odyssey article. It should still be deleted, though. I used the find function, otherwise it would have been more obvious. -- Kjkolb 23:46, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Please do not cut and paste between Wikipedia articles. Andrew pmk | Talk 00:16, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Odyssey, where this text does not currently exist. However, it should be in a separate section with this title, not under "Book 7". Bikeable 15:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Needs more eyeballs. Relisting. · Katefan0^(scribble) 21:24, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

• Merge As per Bikable --CastAStone 22:59, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge However, someone needs to remove the shoddy first-person writing.
• Delete. -_Daniel Lotspeich 20:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: The content is currently innapropriate for the Odyssey article, as that article only gives short summaries of the books and this would go into book 7 because it is specifically about book 7. Here is what is what it looks like unedited. The other books are discussed in short paragraphs. If you think there should be a separate section on hospitality, that's okay, but then the content would need to be rewritten to include the other books and to remove the first person writing. I don't think it's good enough material to justify all that effort, but if someone wants to do it, go for it. :-) -- Kjkolb 06:27, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Take the time to read it properly, and it's evident the text is nearly worthless as analysis, and as a result the few points that might be salvageable (eg references to usage of xenos/xenia) would need independent verification and are worth little on their own anyway, so I see no point in keeping this.Rd232 18:38, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
