Hamlet

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This grossly fictionalised tale contains a quite unrealistic amount of violence. The Danes are a very peaceful people whatever Beowulf says. And the plot seems to have been plagiarised, so it's either a WP:COPYVIO or WP:OR, one or the other certainly. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)Markhh (talk) 16:27, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Someone had to do it: "to be, or not to be", in fact. --Old Moonraker (talk) 10:07, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

AF Delete. This is totally plagiarized from the Kenneth Branagh movie. I hope that Mr. Branah takes this Mr "Shakespeare" to the cleaners. This creep also ripped off his Hamlet V, Much Ado About Nothing, and Othello movies. Seriously, the nerve of some people! (snicker)Tokyogirl79 (talk) 13:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps we ought to nominate The Lost World (Conan Doyle novel) for deletion as well. t's blatant plagiarism of another Kenneth Branagh production, Walking with Dinosaurs. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 15:41, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Delete, Wikipedia is not a directory of Shakespeare's plays. postdlf (talk) 16:03, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Delete, This article is a total fantasy. A completely imagined theoretical urtext source for the great operatic masterpiece Hamlet by Ambroise Thomas. Also there seems to be some confusion with omelette, depending on the pronunciation. Best to delete till this is cleared up. Markhh (talk) 16:27, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
