In professional (meaning profitable because it has been successful produced and marketed) encyclopedias, individuals of the stature of Northrop Frye are not given such massive (and repeated) text simply because people won't read it. Specialist researchers etc. (doctorates) use other sources that provide vast amounts of boring detail. Maybe I'm wrong, but this article exemplifies a "Too much" situation that the author could perhaps have condensed....DW
- I'm a fan of N.F. ...but I concur. Sheesh, someone has to fix the darn bibliography: every item has countless numbers of notes when the volume was reprinted. Is Wikipedia supposed to be an exhaustive bibliography? -- llywrch 02:23 Dec 10, 2002 (UTC)

- The translations into foreign languages seem especially useless for the English wikipedia. My first inclination is to delete, since the quantity is rather large for a talk page and the content exists elsewhere. I can be totally objective because I had never heard of this person before now... :-) Stan 02:56 Apr 27, 2003 (UTC)
I deleted the excessive bibiliography. If someone wants to create an entry on each book, then perhaps all of the versions could be included there, but it's still pretty excessive. The article was already uneditable in some browsers. -- Zoe
- Perhaps that was too drastic of a solution . . . . But if anyone feels a need to consult the excised bibliographic material, it can be found thru the page history. -- llywrch 17:16 Apr 27, 2003 (UTC)

- Fine. I put it back. You deal with it. -- Zoe
- How is it "uneditable"? Encyclopedias are MEANT to be lists of things.
Mattbr30 edited the MA link to point to the postgraduate MA page; Ayre is clear in his biography that NF was at Oxford for a BA which turned into an MA. I've corrected the link to point to the Oxbrdige MA, but the term requirements, post-graduation, may well have been different then. I don't think it's worth a note, but thought I'd mention.

[edit] Festival?
Should there be a section on the Northrop Frye Festival in Moncton? Wikifriendawesome 12:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
