This article violates WP:NOR, and WP:RS. Whispering(talk/c) 21:04, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Everything that I saw in this article has been published elsewhere. This is a nice, but far from fabulous, complilation of analysis of themes in LOR that can be pulled from an abundance of secondary literature. Indeed in principle, (though not in execution), this is nicely encylopedic. But of course they have not cited any of their of these possible sources and so this article is in violation of WP:RS. First, I think the violation is not as severe as some might claim. A lot of this could arguably fall under "common knowledge" at least as it relates to LOR. A great deal of what an encylopedist does is organize common knowledge about a subject in interesting and informative ways. Second, how do we get some movement on improving the citations? Looking at the history, a number of people are working on this article. The prompt for citations has only been out there for 10 days. My understanding is that "good faith" requires that an article with potential, that has had a good amount of work done by multiple contributers should be given the benefit of doubt and be given a chance to become better. 10 days is not a chance. Keep the WP:RS on the page and come back in a couple of months. Jdclevenger 04:59, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
