The result was keep. Absence of English sources per se is not a reason for deletion, and, as noted in the discussion, it is likely that multiple sources are available in Slovenian. The article currently has one source, so that it certainly needs attention (preferably from a Slovenian speaker), but we do not need to delete it. I do not see any consensus for a redirect/move at this point, though if someone creates an article about the author this becomes a viable option.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:56, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Foreign-language novel with no claim to notability. Article in local-language Wiki has no references. Mikeblas (talk) 13:35, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Clearly the novel doesn't deserve its own page, but the writer might well be sufficiently notable for an encyclopedia. Is it possible to create a page for the writer and move the novel onto that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdventurousMe (talk • contribs) 13:44, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Assuming that a novel from a hundred years ago in a relatively minor language is non-notable simply because its article is an unreferenced stub is rarely sensible - cultural works that are highly notable in their own language communities can easily be almost unknown to Wikipedia editors. Similarly, one should rarely assume non-notability from a lack of reliable sources in a Wikipedia article in another language - most other Wikipedias are distinctly less insistent on full sourcing than English Wikipedia is these days. In this case, a GBooks search rapidly reveals at least one detailed reliable source in English, and suggests that there are likely to be more in Slovene. But those will probably need searching through by a Slovene speaker. PWilkinson (talk) 17:06, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep or move to author's name. This novel does have some coverage in English language sources: Making a Nation, Breaking a Nation: Literature and Cultural Politics in Yugoslavia. The author has more. See, e.g., The Former Yugoslavia's Diverse Peoples: A Reference Sourcebook. I echo PWilkinson's suggestions about moving slowly where century old foreign works are concerned. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 23:05, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
