Harlem sunset[edit]

Apparently Chandler used this phrase. But it doesn't look like anybody else has... Widsith 12:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've added two cites, both from semi-published novels (one found on b.g.c. but lacking a date, one found on Google Groups's Usenet archive). If someone can add the Chandler cite, then I think this technically just-barely passes CFI. —RuakhTALK 22:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
We now have four cites, but I'm not 100% satisfied with the entry; it looks as though the first two cites are using it in a slightly different sense from the last two. The last two are using it in the sense given by various online noir glossaries; I wonder if said noir glossaries misinterpreted the Chandler cite, and the authors of the last two were thereby led astray? —RuakhTALK 22:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

RFV passed. As I've said, I'm not 100% satisfied with the entry, but it definitely does meet CFI, if just barely. —RuakhTALK 18:10, 9 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
