 * – ( View AfD View log )

I am also nominating the following articles: No established notability. No improvement since May 2011. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 12:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Wie Wahrnehmung sich erfindet
 * Der Fuchs war damals schon der Jäger
 * Eine warme Kartoffel ist ein warmes Bett
 * Der Wächter nimmt seinen Kamm
 * Angekommen wie nicht da
 * In der Falle
 * Heimat ist das, was gesprochen wird
 * Der fremde Blick oder das Leben ist ein Furz in der Laterne
 * Die blassen Herren mit den Mokkatassen
 * Drückender Tango
 * Hunger und Seide
 * Im Haarknoten wohnt eine Dame
 * Keep- Written by the 2009 Nobel laureate Herta Müller, recognized body of work; The Nobel site's entry for the author lists them all, and additional coverage by AP & Reuters exists in English, and presumably in Swedish, German, and Romanian. Thank you for not including the 2 I worked on from your previous set, but There is no deadline still applies. Dru of Id (talk) 14:17, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep – What has changed since the "Keep" at Articles for deletion/Barfüßiger Februar? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:40, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing has changed and that's exactly the problem. Article topics need their notability to be established. None of those articles has done this since the last AfD. These books still fail WP:GNG. None of these books has shown that it satisfies one of the notability criteria for books. I acknowledge that Herta Müller is a praised novelist. However I do not see that she satisfies WP:NBOOK criterion 5. Thus notability of her books need to be established through notability criterion 1. I do not see that any of the books being the subject of the articles I nominated here satisfy this. Furthermore I do not see the point of these articles. What information do these articles convey that the list of works at Herta Müller does not? As I see it these articles are just content forks. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 15:02, 21 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Also worth noting that others in the "also nominating" list were also in the April 2011 batch of nominations which also resulted in Keep consensus. These prior AfDs should also be linked here. AllyD (talk) 18:12, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Given the nominator's acknowledgement that "Nothing has changed", I'm inclined to think that this debate should be closed as a repetition of the April 2011 nominations that resulted in Keeps (unless there are some here which weren't part of that previous nomination list, that is). AllyD (talk) 18:15, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Müller is a "praised" novelist? Really? She won the Nobel Prize for this body of work. This is textbook WP:NBOOK. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 18:35, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment by nominator Herta Müller received 24 awards in 30 years. Granted, I am quite impressed by this as this is an achievement. And I do not want to downplay this in any way. However I still cannot see the encyclopedic value of these one line articles. This information is just a fork of the information in Herta Müller, where it fits quite well. In which way does this kind of content forking improve the encyclopedia? Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 23:10, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep The nomination seems to violate our deletion policy: "It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hopes of getting a different outcome.". The claims that these works are not notable are blatantly false. Barfüßiger Februar, for example, is the subject of a whole volume of literary criticism:  Fleischfressendes Leben.  Warden (talk) 00:29, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, just like last time. If you're thinking of continuing to nominate this article until it's deleted, that won't work. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 01:46, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't even notice that the nominator was the same both times. Yeah, that's disruptive. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 03:03, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep These literary works resulted in their author winning a Nobel Prize, which I think most people would agree is the most prestigious prize for literature in the world. Of course, they are notable for that reason alone. They meet WP:NBOOK. Stubs on notable topics are an OK beginning, and these short articles can be expanded and improved over time.

 * Procedural Keep - Disruptive nomination. This field has been plowed. Carrite (talk) 04:37, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
