Article assessment - Outside scope of the Crime WikiProject

[edit]

This edit by Coolabahapple (talk · contribs) assessed this article as being within the scope of WikiProject Crime, however, I do not think it is, so I have removed the project banner. I don't know if a mistake has been made or if the project assignment was intentional or not. In the absence of an explanation, all I can tell is that the existing article content shows no evidence of subject, an author, being involved in crime as a perpetrator, victim, researcher, or substantial writer about crime fiction. The the subject's works are not substantially about fictional crime, either. While she may have written about a fictional crime that occurs in one of her works the article needs to demonstrate that the characters involved believed it to be a crime that was committed and that they or their fictional society reacted as if it was a crime in that society's social context. Otherwise, it is just another incident or adventure the protagonists become involved in and a plot device to move the story along. If contributors want to have an article included within the scope of a WikiProject then I do suggest they include the relevant information in the article so it can be assessed as being in scope. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 04:32, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
