This article does not state notability. I did a quick Google search on the article to see if I could find any sources and I couldn't. I would contact the initial editor before tagging but they have no edits since 2007 and there is a notice on their userpage saying they have retired. I therfore think that this article should be deleted on notability grounds. Oddbodz (talk) 17:58, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Here are some RS [1] [2] [3], including an article in The New York Times [4]. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 18:23, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Specifically citable sources include this book (pp.42-44) and this one (pp.8-10). I suppose there's some argument to be had about whether to style the article after The American Monomyth, the book, or after the American monomyth, the concept explored by the book. But that's an editorial determination. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 18:41, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

--DThomsen8 (talk) 00:28, 3 December 2011 (UTC)*Keep but those supporting a rescue should actually provide inline citations, rather than telling the rest of us how it can be done.[reply]
