This page is student work done by my class, and I apologize for its rough spots. As an English professor, I do feel this page deserves to exist, as Dorian is the central character in an important late Victorian novel, and references to Dorian's wish are made in popular media. I understand that it needs improvement and hope that other editors will work on this, as I hope to do myself. keneckert Keneckert ( talk) 12:41, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
The article says of Dorian's mother that "Her grandfather had a strong dislike for Kelso". But who is Kelso? He (I presume) isn't mentioned anywhere else in this article, nor in the main article about the novel. It might be best to just simplify him out of the section. -- Dan Griscom ( talk) 11:20, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
The portrayal section basically just reads like more plot summary. I'm not an expert, but I don't think a wikipedia editor should be creating their own analysis of a character's portrayal (even though that's not what's happening in this section). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toad02 ( talk • contribs) 16:54, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
This article has essentially the same information as The Picture of Dorian Gray. Not only does this copy text of that article, it also seems to have taken from other, related ones, like Adaptations of The Picture of Dorian Gray.
It also seems to be abandoned by its original editors (a student and their professor) and doesn't seem to have gone through any substantial changes since. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toad02 ( talk • contribs) 17:01, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
Characters don't have plots. Why is there a plot section? The plot belongs in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Toddst1 ( talk) 00:58, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
