Looks like a stub (Sandbox page; that's allowed). If someone wants to expand the information, it would be a works page.

It looks like a catalog of motifs, essentially another way of saying tropes. As a non-fiction research work, it hardly seems like something we'd have a Literature article for. As an aside, I find that the Books on Trope index lists some articles that don't exist and some that appear to be stubs, lacking lists of tropes.

Another way of saying it is that there's nothing tropable about the catalog, even though the catalog is about tropes.

^ Mmm. Should / Could we make it a Useful Note, or something, to talk about how those indexes do things, in comparison to us? Sort of like the We Are Not Alone Index? "We Are Not The First", or something?

... Although, that's sorta what Books on Trope is for, though?

Yes, exactly. It's sufficient to list it there as a link, without the need to have a wiki article. That Sandbox can be chopped if it's older than a few months.

It's 2+ years old. Sending to cutlist.
