Okay so you’re kicking around Wikipedia and you come across this article and think, “Hey this article doesn’t even have a plot summary. I think I’ll recommend that this short story be merged with the short story collection it came from.” Well that is not a good idea for a two very good reasons. First of all, Orson Scott Card published most of his short stories in two or three different anthologies so that an attempt at combining his stories with their collections would result in multiple listings. The second reason is that Card’s biggest collection Maps in a Mirror contains 46 short stories and more than half of them have fairly long articles about them which include plot summaries, connections to other stories, critical reception, publication history, book covers etc. The problem is that if all these stories were merged into Maps in a Mirror it would result in an article that is about three miles long.

So… If you want to help, try doing something constructive with your time like writing a summary for this story. Pmcalduff (talk) 06:56, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete or redirect

There is no evidence that this story is notable, so I suggest that this page should be changed to a redirect to Cardography Guy who reads a lot (talk) 22:36, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's been no response to the suggestion to delete or redirect in the last ten months, so unless there's some objection, I will change this to a redirect to the Cardography article in a day or two. Guy who reads a lot (talk) 04:55, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
