And you folks delete my articles. First the Sprite (computer graphics) article, then Essjay, now I find this... Sigh. --John Lunney 19:07, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Take heart. I've written several articles about important political and social movers and shakers in the 18th and early 19th centuries only to have them "speedily deleted" because they were "not notable enough." Perhaps not notable enough for people who actually consider a stupid teen drama to be high academic fodder, but they were all certainly notable enough in their own time and notable enough in our time to have their memoirs been cited in several biographical works and to have their accomplishments mentioned in several non-fiction (and even fiction). Wikipedia's soi dissant "editors" are just a bunch of uninformed beardos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.242.225.132 (talk) 22:56, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've had a look around and as far as I can work out there's no similar article on Shakespear studies or Dickens studies. Surel any relevant information should go into the Buffy article rather than here, in the same way that the study of classic authors do not merit their own article, but informs their main article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.12.102 (talk) 22:02, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I tend to agree. We live in an increasingly anti-intellectual age, and that something like this passes for "academic study" is only further evidence of it. --38.129.239.174 (talk) 18:05, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the section 'Contributors and scholarship' for now. I can't help thinking that this list might not accurately represent the available scholarship, and might have been biased either by one (or more) editors fave writings, or by scholars themselves adding in their contributions. There is a place in this article for this section, but only when it is more convincingly presented as adequately and appropriately reflecting available scholarship as opposed to including a random list of a few writers/writings. Even if vanity has not been an issue so far, IMHO presenting it as it has been done in the past would only encourage vanity to become an issue. The section I removed is found below. - Paxomen 05:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Would The Physics of the Buffyverse (2006) by Jennifer Ouellette, ISBN 0143038621 belong in this article? MaxVeers 20:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OMG Is this actually a serious article?! --dllu 21:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree with the dissenters here. I don't think "Buffy Studies" is anything beyond a term given, probably by overly enthusiastic fans, to the collection of papers and books written about the show, which differs significantly from an actual academic field of study. Tv shows come and go--as this one surely has--and many other cultural productions do what Buffy the Vampire Slayer does in terms of hidden narratives, symbolism, analogies and so on. It simply isn't that exceptional. There are many other tv shows that could be given their own "field of study" if Buffy the Vampire Slayer is given its own: All in the Family and other Norman Lear shows, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Simpsons, and so on. I'm not sure if this is accepted as even an academic sub-field--it seems very absurd if were to be. I've done a little research and it seems like at best there are a few courses offered at a few universities by a few scholarly fans, but nothing like an entire sub-field.
Therefore, I've changed the introduction to this article. I think one of us should find a legitimate source that verifies this as an academic sub-field. One is not offered in the article, only links to essays done about the show and some classes about the show. Alialiac (talk) 23:13, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There are the list of papers. It would be interesting to have a link for each of those papers.
