This article seems to be a huge essay. Is this a notable topic and a fixable article or is it just WP:MADEUP? I'm not an expert enough in the social sciences to be sure. Blythwood (talk) 04:18, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
For the record, at AfD now. Happy to close this discussion. Blythwood (talk) 18:44, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Laws on betting in Western Australia
editI'm sorry if this is not appropriate, as I don't really spend that much time on this reference desk, but could someone provide some links to laws in Western Australia on betting outside of casinos and racing? Cheers JoshMuirWikipedia (talk) 11:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Have you looked through the relevant state government site? Rojomoke (talk) 13:41, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
Laurie Lee poetry
editIs there such a thing as a list of all Laurie Lee's published poems, with the works in which they appeared? Thank you, DuncanHill (talk) 21:07, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Here is a bibliography of his works at the official website of the organization that ran his centenary celebration. There's contact information for an agent listed there. That may be a place to start. --Jayron32 22:35, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, have emailed the agent. DuncanHill (talk) 22:57, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
what could Rsis be?
editSorry for my english. I'm trying to understand where is the Rsis region mentioned in the Zoroaster article (to solve a disambiguation problem).
The only thing I found some poets [1] or mentions of pa-rsis.
I see also that the mention of Rsis was introduced by user 182.182.25.219, any idea what this place could be ? --Melaen (talk) 22:14, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- My only guess is that this is a typo for Fars; that is someone misread Fars as Rsis. Since Fars is in the same general region as the other places listed in that article Also, another name for Fars is Persis; so they may have forgotten to put the Pe in the front. --Jayron32 22:30, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- That's right. The name of the Persian language is Farsi. 86.128.234.7 (talk) 00:12, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- Less plausible, translation problem w/ Vedic Rsis? [2].—eric 15:31, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
