Talk:Buffy studies

Importance

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)

Contributors and scholarship

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 appropiately 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)

Physics of the Buffyverse

Would The Physics of the Buffyverse (2006) by Jennifer Ouellette, ISBN 0143038621 belong in this article? MaxVeers 20:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
