Der Teufel sitzt im Spiegel

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable book, only one line, no sources. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 09:43, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong and speedy keep. It's a very safe bet that literary works by Nobel laureates in literature will have received the coverage required to establish notability. The fact that an editor has established a comprehensive set of stub articles for the author's books, which other editors may expand at their convenience, is not at all a bad thing. The nominator makes no case whatever for deletion, and this long string of cookie-cutter nominations over a brief period of time, quite frankly, will lead most editors to the conclusion that the nominator has made no effort, whether per WP:BEFORE or otherwise, to assess whether the subjects are in fact notable. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 15:11, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes criterion #5 of WP:NBOOK as the author has won a Nobel in literature. Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 15:20, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment WP:NOTINHERITED. Prove the book is notable, just because a Nobel laureate wrote it does not mean that it contributed to the Nobel Prize. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 06:18, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Response- WP:NOTINHERITED specifically links to the exceptions of WP:NBOOK, #5 of which is the most germane. The Literature Nobel is given for an author's body of work to date, any item of which should be presumed to have been considered in the decision; subsequent works obviously were not, but are likely to receive attention sooner because of the author's recognition. This mass deletion listing seems only to have avoided (with the exception of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nadirs, above), only those which won individual awards, were previously translated into English, or had been previously reviewed in the New York Times, Systemic bias of foreign-language materials in WP:RS, at least those available online, which made possible development of specific articles about her work. The author was the subject of biographies, in 1992, 1993, 2002, and 2003, not because she was Romanian, wrote in German, or left Romania, but because of the quality and breadth of her writing as a dissident; while she was awarded the Nobel in 2009, she had been discussed as a possible candidate prior to 2009's The Land of Green Plums. If not kept, Redirect to 'Herta Müller' as valid search term. Dru of Id


 * Keep- Per rationales of each previous keep vote above. Dru of Id (talk) 11:53, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per NBOOK 5, and per above. We really could have combined these nominations into one AFD. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:15, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
