Classic

Hi Dornwald, I see that you're asking about the word "classic" on a number of pages. I believe that the answer to your question is yes, it is okay to call something a "classic", if you've got reliable secondary sources that use that word. I suspect that It's a Wonderful Life, War and Peace and To Kill a Mockingbird have ample sources that describe them as "classic". Does that help answer your question?

Sorry if i overdid it!

Isn't there a difference between "it is regarded as a classic" (for which you can give sources) and "it IS a classic" (which isn't really provable)? It sounds like saying "the movie is great" to me. Wouldn't it be against NPOV? Dornwald (talk) 23:37, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

I think you're right, "regarded as a classic" is probably the way to go. Toughpigs (talk) 23:40, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
