Brand
This nomination was orphaned; the tag was added to the article by on June 27, 2006, but no corresponding entry was added here. User:Asav made the following comment on the talk page: "I've reinstated the VfD, simply because I've incorporated the (single) Ibsen quote in his main quote page. There's nothing wrong with it; it's just that there are so many Ibsen quotes floating around Wikoquote, and they might as well be collected on his main page. (Of course, I'll redo the links.)

 * No vote at this time. &mdash;LrdChaos 15:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Henrik Ibsen, per Jeffq. &mdash;LrdChaos 14:28, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, or at least redirect to Henrik Ibsen. In its 18-month existence, no other quote has been added to the single quote this article contains. There are four times as many quotes for this play in the Ibsen article, and that article is hardly overburned with quotes. I'm satisfied that there is no current interest in creating anything more than a stub for this play, so we should not have a second article when one will suffice. Furthermore, I am beginning to think we should discourage separate articles for specific works of art unless they are likely to generate enough quotes to make their authors' articles too long. Separate articles tend to cause two bad things:
 * Too many quotes, raising copyright or Wikisource issues.
 * Poor sourcing. Many editors seem to feel that the mere inclusion in a book or other work article is adequate to serve the community's need to verify, which is very much not the case. Requiring editors to read an entire work to verify a quote pretty much guarantees it won't get done.

 * Delete. Agree with Jeff.  121a0012 00:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. While we're at it, perhaps we should also do a merge for the other Ibsen plays: A Doll's House, Peer Gynt and En Folkefiende. As they stand, there's no reason why they can't all be on the Ibsen page. - InvisibleSun
 * Delete InvisibleSun has a good point about merging the other articles. - Koweja 17:40, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, concur with Jeff, and also support the consolidation of Ibsen's works onto his page. ~ UDScott 13:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
