[edit] Privileged child

Privileged child (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is a personal essay, full of original research. It would be very difficult to verify this, and there is not one reference. On the talk page the author said that she wrote this page when new to Wikipedia, and admits that it has its weaknesses. It could potentially be an encyclopedic topic, but as I have said it fails WP:A to the extreme. If this article goes down the plughole, then I'll consider nominating popular girl as another apparent attempt to expand a dictionary definition.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:25, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I have to agree - it's original research and the tone's all wrong. GracieLizzie, if you're particularly fond of this text why don't you copy it to your userspace and keep it there? BTLizard 16:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
• redirect to Stock character unless this article can be sourced. Given the articles in Category:Stock characters there's precedent for including articles on a topic like this, but this one is unsourced. --W.marsh 17:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: per what Seiver and BTLizard said. --Millard73 18:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. I honestly think this could potentially be an encyclopedic topic if sources exist, but it really does fail attribution badly and seems like it would be difficult to source. The term "privileged child" yields a considerable number of ghits, though, and even multiple hundred results each from Google Scholar and Google Books. I wouldn't know where to start going about sourcing the claims in the article, though.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 19:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
