[edit] Tag-stacking
When I came to this article, it had 6 or 7 tags, which I see as excessive. It's flawed, but having too many tags tends to discourage fixes by overwhelming potential editors. The basic issue is that the article is a mere plot summary, so I left that tag up. The article does need context, but that's clearly implied by the "plot" tag, so there's no need to duplicate. As for notability, it's a major story by a major historical writer. Merely mentioning that it's a Gogol story is an establishment of notability, much as mentioning that a play was written by Shakespeare precludes any further need for notability-puffery.

- I have reduced the number of templates down to just one. Note that your opinion about notability is insufficient evidence: reliable secondary sources are need to confirm your assertion. In Wikipedia, notability is not inherited, not even from the most famous authors. There should be lots of reliable secondary sources about this story that can be cited, so leave the cleanup template until these are added. --Gavin Collins (talk) 15:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
