[edit] Big Mamas Funeral

Article fails to assert the notability of this literary work. Does not seem to be a remarkable piece in any way. James084 20:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Anything by Nobel Prize winner Marquez is pretty important. This looks to me like it just needs some expansion. -- JJay 20:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

This work gives a good example in a comparatively short form of Garcia Marquez's 'magic realism'. As with a lot of his works, a lot of background knowledge is assumed in order to understand it, particularly the history of Colombia. I tend to assume that anyone who approaches any of Marquez's work has the intelligence to know what he or she is doing. It would be an insult to such a person to arbitrarily eliminate this entry.Alloco1 01:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. Book by notable author in Garcia Marquez. Capitalistroadster 03:39, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Work by winner of Nobel Prize for literature should stay, notable, and no doubt there is room for expansion.Crypticfirefly 06:27, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
