This article violates WP:DICDEF and is a content fork. Besides the Dictionary.com definition, it provides a list of various genres called "epic". The only sentence worth keeping is the one that describes how the word "epic" can now be extended to cover almost anything (even real-life stories, as we are informed). The article does not discuss what all these "genres" across several art forms have in common. It does however cite an online dictionary: a "theme of grandeur and heroism". This article might be fixable, but since as of now it is entirely redundant to the disambiguation page Epic, it ought either to be deleted or else redirected. It might not be fixable, however, if no sources describe the existence of a single epic genre crossing several narrative art forms. It is not clear that any of the cited sources in the article do so: all that is shown is that the word has taken on a wider meaning than its original one, a fact that can be gleaned from a dictionary. (Paul Merchant's The Epic is concerned primarily with poetry.) Srnec (talk) 05:40, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
