[edit] The Christmas Story

Problem: NOt in encyclopedic form, and a very vague article presenting info largely covered in Wikipedia already. Molotov (talk)

  • Comment:This article is the very best I have ever read on this website. It is precise, to the point, and informative. It is written so that people can understand it. It is brillaint and anyone who deletes it is very wrong in the head.unsigned by article author 62.137.135.93
  • DeleteKeep, Non encyclopedic article that is covered better elsewhere on wikipedia... notably Nativity. Alternately to deletion, this could redirect to Nativity or A Christmas Story. I could conceivably see someone getting the name of that movie wrong. I'll leave the religious vs secular arguments of such redirects to anyone who wants to advocate one or the other (I don't... thus the delete).--Isotope23 19:55, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Changed vote per 23skidoo's changes. Nice work.--Isotope23 11:28, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  • It seems to me that the person who created this article must have not known the word for nativity, and that's why the article was created in the first place. Would it be too out of line to suggest a disambiguation page here leading to both places? I now second Andrew's idea -- redirect to Christmas because of past precedent. --Jacquelyn Marie 01:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  • redirect to nativity. I'm guessing the term isn't linked/searched enough to warrant a dab page. — brighterorange (talk) 20:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect per others. I do like the parenthetical "Mary did the giving birth part", though. One of the better laughs I've had today. ^_^ Haeleth 23:00, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect not to Nativity but to Christmas, which is where Christmas stories redirects. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:58, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I would say that anyone looking for information on this would search for Christmas. If it was to be a redirect my preference would be that it go to Christmas as per Andrew Lenahan. Capitalistroadster 01:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Disambiguate with links to Christmas and the motion picture A Christmas Story. I've taken the liberty of doing this myself. 23skidoo 02:09, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
