Antenarrative

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A story concept being promoted by its inventor, Dboje (talk · contribs). Unsurprisingly most of the incoming links were added by Dboje: storytelling, story arc and Fabula and syuzhet. And the addition to Barbara Czarniawska was added by a sock puppet (but I hasten to say that I saw no evidence that it was a sock puppet of Dboje). Has anything changed since the AfD five years ago? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:38, 28 January 2011 (UTC)}}[reply]

Delete. As noted, this is part of a walled garden of articles by User:Dboje about theories he himself has originated, with "references" that don't make it clear if any part of these theories is accepted by others, and the article itself is well-fortified with gibberish and evasion rather than a description of the thing named. Even assuming notability of this concept could be clearly shown, the article would need a complete rewrite, so the present text is superfluous in any case. — Gavia immer (talk) 02:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination, without third party evidence of use/adoption and some balancing criticism this reads like a promotional piece; other related articles look to be extracts from Boje. Full disclosure, I know of Boje's work and am involved in the field of organisational narrative. --Snowded ^TALK 07:18, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
