Hour of the wolf

Yet another misplaced TV Tropes article. The core concept of an hour of the wolf in folk belief might possibly be notable, but there is no actual content relating to it in the article - it's just a list (almost entirely unreferenced) of popular culture mentions of the phrase "hour of the wolf" (most of which is handled by the disambiguation page anyway). At the very best, this is WP:TNT material. Kolbasz (talk) 22:31, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete at best as this may be best restarted as mentioned because the article is still questionably solid. SwisterTwister talk 06:29, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's conceivable that an article could be written on this topic, but I'm not completely convinced. A search through Google Books mostly turns up novels of that name. If this is a notable concept, I think we'd be better served by having a red link here to encourage a better article. Like the nom says, this is basically a TV Tropes article.

Delete. I'm pretty well-versed in cultural tropes and this was genuinely a new one on me... and, after reading this list, it still is. Someday a folk historian may join our ranks and write about this concept from an academic perspective, if it is really a notable cultural/academic concept (which looks to be the case, but it's difficult to conceptualize an idiom that, by this list of examples, seems more likely to show up in musical compositions than in written/audiovisual works, for whatever reason). On board with NinjaRobotPirate's redlink notion. Julietdeltalima (talk) 19:32, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
