Doesn't cite any sources to establish notability, and I can't find any online. It's unlikely that a good sized article could be written about this story that doesn't just consist of a plot summary.

Delete or redirect to
Mr. Calder and Mr. Behrens. There could be an argument for having a redirect to the main page for the characters/series, but I can't find sourcing to justify this story having its own independent article. If there are any hidden beneath the multitude of false positives, I wasn't able to find them.

Delete or redirect per ReaderofthePack. This article was taken wholesale from
Citizendium (which is allowed under both their policies and ours), but I'm surprised that it passed muster over there (admittedly, I'm not that familiar with CZ). There are no citations provided at all, and the last paragraph seems to be primarily opinion: "The abrupt conclusion of the story, however, along with its brief explanation as to how Calder had determined the Headmaster's identity, seems somewhat contrived and in the nature of a deus ex machina being suddenly pulled from the author's hatful of tricks. Whether it is a satisfactory ending is up to the individual reader to judge." --

Delete. Short stories are rarely individually notable, and there is no evidence this one is an exception to the rule. If absolutely needed, you can redirect.

Delete - No sign of the level of coverage or any other factor that might donate that this was notable enough a short story to merit its own article.
