I've taken the case. Currently I await for the response from both sides. CP/M ( Wikipedia Neutrality Project) 21:05, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Since consensus was reached, specifically keeping the analysis separated, with short summary in the article, the case is closed. However, I'm ready to help if anything is needed. CP/M comm | Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 22:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
This section is for listing and discussing compromise offers.
This is not actually a compromise, but rather some policy-conforming suggestions.
It's quite clear that the way it is now the analysis doesn't fit Wikipedia standarts. It's a good work, and we actually value original research. There's WP:IAR, and no rules are strict boundaries, but IAR works when there is no controversy or doubt about positive effect. Since several editors argue the analysis is not for this article, it is the case when the policies take priority.
The article is excessively long, and the complete analysis makes it hard to read, but, being valuable for understanding the book, it must be kept. First of all, I suggest you make a brief summary of it, restricted to about 1-2 kilobytes, and just mentioning what are the main concepts of the book. This analysis will be kept in the article.
For the full analysis, I suggest two main options:
So it will be not much difference for article readers, it's just about how much original thought was applied. I personally feel the second option offers much more freedom in editing and requires less effort.

While using the talk page of the article in question to solve a dispute is encouraged to involve a larger audience, feel free to discuss the case below if that is not possible. Other mediators are also encouraged to join in on the discussion as Wikipedia is based on consensus.
The article is 110 kb, but none of the disputants has offered to split it up. I agree, though, that it shouldn't be split up unless the new articles would form seperate subjects. For example, "analysis of House Made of Dawn" is not a new subject. However, the others claim that the material doesn't belong on Wikipedia at all. The novel is very symbolic, making analysis essential for understanding it. Most of it is not original, and is based on research done by others. (I listed my sources at the bottom of the entry.) The wording can be rephrased to be more neutral if necessary (e.g., "most scholars believe x").-- HQCentral 00:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
We've discovered that HQCentral ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is a sock puppet of notorious plagiarist Primetime. Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Primetime, Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Primetime. The material he sought to add was undoubtedly copied from someone else. - Will Beback 02:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
