Does the stories of Sherlock Holmes fit Poe's outline for a detective story?

Edgar Allan Poe is sometimes credited for the first detective story, although the Chinese had been publishing their's for centuries. Perhaps he's given this honorable mention because of his outline for detective stories. Poe introduced three common motifs of detective fiction: the wrongly suspected man, the crime in the locked room, and the solution by unexpected means. The protagonist is always a brilliant detective, and his brilliance is observed by an admiring narrator. Did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series follow these guidelines?

Well Sherlock Holmes was obviously brilliant, and Dr. Watson was his admiring narrator. That part fits. In all of his investigations, there is a feel that a certain someone is the criminal. Near the end, however, Holmes would always stumble upon something by accident that would point towards the actual guilty party. Needless to say, Poe's outline greatly helped this Irishman in his works. Even to this day, movies are being made about this character who greatly fits the image of Poe's C. Auguste Dupin. Seems like no one comes up with their own ideas anymore. They just build on some one else's hard work. Pictured below is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the most celebrated detective fiction author.
