Fails WP:NBOOK. No sigcov, no reviews, no awards. Do not believe that this author is sufficiently notable to pass notability down to all his works. Rogermx (talk) 19:53, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If Bukowsksi isn't of sufficient stature for WP:NBOOK#5 then it's hard to imagine many authors who are. Anyway, this is simply a story included in one of his collections, and the existing article isn't very informative, so why not simply redirect to South of No North (short story collection) as an WP:ATD? pburka (talk) 23:21, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. I don't think Bukowkski meets NBOOK 5. I think of NBOOK 5 as referring to authors like Virgil, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Wordsworth, for whom it is common to have entire college classes, academic journals, conferences, and scholarly societies focused around their works. I have been able to find evidence of perhaps two dissertations on Bukowski, but I could not find a Bukowski society or journal. Bukowski is certainly a major author, but I don't think his works are "a common subject of academic study." So unless the story meets NBOOK 1 or GNG (which it sounds like it does not), I think the best idea is to redirect to the volume as suggested. ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 20:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
