A Phoenix Too Frequent
[edit]A Phoenix Too Frequent has its own Wikipedia article where its principal characters can be described. This article is about a nereid in Greek mythology. It is not a coatrack on which to hang other uses of that nereid's name. 73.71.251.64 (talk) 20:25, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
It's a little funny, but also very, very sad to see multiple editors revert me with "discuss, discuss!" when they clearly haven't checked this page at any point. 73.71.251.64 (talk) 02:02, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- Your prose above is not clear: which page do you imagine these "multiple editors" have not read? I am aware that the Fry play has its own article: I wrote 75% of it. I have already explained to you in reply to your posting on my talk page why in my view (and that of two other editors, evidently) it is sensible to put the derivative on the same page as the original, but I repeat what I have said there: it is open to you to move the former to a new page, but it is simple vandalism to keep deleting it completely. I have no vested interest in this page, but I do object to wilful high-handedness. There is nothing out of the ordinary about mentioning the Fry play at the end of the article on the nereid: have a look at Janus, Autolycus etc, where references to later use of the original's name are accommodated at the end of the article, as here.

- Since the character's name in Fry's play is derived from the Greek sea nymph, the information in this "Popular culture" section is relevant; it is also generally helpful to our readers. The information in the section is verified by reliable sources. As Tim riley said, if you think that the information ought to have its own article instead of being here, you can, of course, create that article, but I think it has a good enough home here. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:10, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
