This is a great example of a non-notable fictional plot element. We've now gotten to the point where fans of fictional works are creating articles not only about every minor character and place in the fictional work, but also about every fictional element mentioned in the work. My attempts to avoid an AFD by redirecting the article to Animal Farm were for naught. Animal Farm seems particularly prone to these articles, although most of the egregious ones have been deleted already; I can only theorize it has something to do with the grades the book is taught in US schools. A more lengthy explanation of my argument for deletion and the applicable policies can be found here. Savidan 20:21, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as all articles are NOT equal. Sheesh! What greater understanding are we given of Orwell's meisterwerk by fluffy articles such as this? Eddie.willers (talk) 20:51, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A fictional element in a fictional work? I'm a lifelong fan of Orwell and 'Animal Farm', and I say deep-six it. Maybe a redirect, but it's not going to be a deal-breaker if it doesn't get one. Jusda fax 23:28, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to animal farm. sometimes these articles on fictional things hurt my brain to think about, but then i go to google, look for any significant discussion outside of the fictional world it resides in. nothing for this. unless the pope says "if you think the afterlife is just endless food, your living in a sugarcandy mountain fantasy" and the phrase becomes commonly used for this kind of thinking about the afterlife, it wont justify an article.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:47, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
