"Classic"

"George Orwell's own Nineteen Eighty-Four is a classic dystopian novel about totalitarianism."

Is it ok to call something a "classic" as a factual statement in an encyclopedia? Or is it a subjective thing even in a case like "1984"? Isn't it against NPOV? I'm asking out of curiosity. Dornwald (talk) 00:18, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That seems a bit POV and also unneeded; I've gone ahead and removed it. DonIago (talk) 02:03, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dornwald (talk) 02:18, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioned as being one of the parents of the puppies. What else do you feel should be included? DonIago (talk) 20:03, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
