Article is full of original research and lacking citations (for 3 years). Article is a stub, but the potential of the article has not been shown to be sufficient. ~QuasiAbstract {talk/contrib} 18:36, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, but excise all the OR (a high-schooler's book report?) and keep as a true stub. The Los Angeles Times writes, "Wolff is one of our most anthologized short story writers; his seminal 'Hunters in the Snow,' 'Mortals' and 'Bullet in the Brain' show up, perennially, in college textbooks and syllabuses." A GBooks search seems to bear that out. This is, of course, yet another article (like 99% of articles on TV episodes) where the OR from a reader/viewer should be extirpated; but unlike most individual TV episodes, this story itself appears to be encyclopedically notable.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Keep on the same basis as Glenfarcias. Short stories are a bit of a problem--there might be some merit in combining the discussion of them in to one long article, but they do meet our requirements of having adequate sourcing to stand alone. DGG ( talk ) 05:30, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
