[edit]

It is problematic to call More's Utopia a "novel," if for nothing else than the fact that the work predates such use of the term. While Susan Bruce, editor of Oxford's Three Early Modern Utopias notes a similarity in the narrative structure of utopian texts with what would later become the novel, it is still an anachronism to apply the term as such without context.

[edit]

@Widefox:
A BBC 4 documentary series with three episodes is named Utopia for an obvious reason: the series dealt with the idea of Utopia and finding it here on earth.
As an user, I myself searched for a wikipedia article on the series for information. Not finding the entry in the DAB page on Utopia, I searched the internet, found the video, watched one of the three episodes, and then proceeded to enter the information for the next searcher.
Please peruse the links below:

I had re-touched the DAB page to add the series.
Widefox reverted the edit and informed the undersigned by talk 16:10, 7 January 2018 (UTC).
I therefore seek consensus to insert the said information on the DAB page. I am not even writing an article on the series! Just entering the information on the DAB page for Utopia so that an article on the series could be written in future.

@Bkpsusmitaa: I think we both agree there's no article or mention of the topic in Wikipedia. Did you see WP:MOSDAB as I pointed out to you? We don't list entries of topics without an article or mention (3rd time I've said this). Do not just re-add again, but gain consensus here first before adding. Basically, the article needs writing first, so there's nothing to be done here at the dab, but more like at WP:AfC. Regards Widefox; talk 14:48, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
