Literature.TheThreeDecker -- work page that needs to be fixed

During Wedding Day de-wicking cleanup, I found this page: "The Three Decker". A poem by Kipling.

So obviously some effort was put in this page, but there is no list of tropes. Those Pot Holes might be accurate but because all those are basically ZCE or quote only, they're just as likely Sink Holes.

The All-Blue Entry look of it bothers me.

Options:

• re-work the page entirely (write a brief description, identify at least three tropes, write proper examples with context, delete the text of the poem with sinkholes)
• cutlist because in this state, the page is against our rules and policies
• leave as is

The page was created in 2012. The editor's last edit is from 2017, so there's no point in contacting them. Other edits are mostly wiki cleanups.

This is taken from the page:

Is there some reason this is allowed? Should it fall under some kind of grandfather clause?

I'd appreciate your input.

Personally I'd cutlist the page. Is that too drastic?

Cut.

No and no. We do not host completed works here. If there are other pages like this, they should be discussed like this one is.

Anyway, I doubt anyone will object to cutting this outright (I certainly won't), but the real question is whether we can find someone who cares enough to rework the page so it fits modern standards.

Also, the link to Blue Shifting is misusing the term; they meant to link to All-Blue Entry, which is not something we want.

So the cut request was declined; was it because of the page's 140+ inbounds, or some other reason?

Septimus said something on the page's discussion, you might ask there.

The page has been cut. This thread can be closed then. Thank you all for contributing.

Okay then, time to close.
