Le petit bonheur

 * – ( View AfD View log )

To us French Canadians, "Le petit bonheur" is a song by Félix Leclerc and there should be an article on that song. However, this article is no more than a dicdef centered on a short discussion by Hannah Arendt, nothing that warrants an article. Most of the article is a quote. Delete.

 * Comment I'm seeing millions of hits/uses, and it appears to be a 'life philosophy' of sorts like Simple living. Not sure it fits here exactly as written, but there may be a place for it.  Withholding my !vote for now, have to ponder the idea if a section in Simple living and redirect is better, or leaving it alone.  Dennis Brown (talk) 19:36, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I say a merge/redirect to Simple living would be the sensible thing to do. --  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 20:41, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect Then with that, I would agree. If at a later time, enough citation and content would warrant breaking it off into a separate article, then it could be reviewed at that time.  But there is enough to the expression to warrant, say, one or two paragraphs in the main article.  Dennis Brown (talk) 00:49, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete As as been noted, the article is hung on the quotation(s) from Arendt. However even there, it is such a passing discussion that it desn't even merit an entry in the book's Index. Not enough for an article. AllyD (talk) 22:21, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Not knowing French, it is hard for me to tell the exact importance of this phrase. However, the google news results suggest there was an early 20th century play by this name, a book, hotels, and even a yacht.  None of this proves notability, but as a whole it suggests that it is a well-established concept/phrase in the French language.  Even if this article is not correct as it stands, it seems that there is *something* notable about this phrase. Wickedjacob (talk) 01:52, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This is why the nom and I independently !voted to change from AFD to merge, which would allow time to develop the concept, and perhaps over time when appropriate sources could be found, then a separate article could be created. There is something to it, but not enough verification to justify a completely separate article now.  Dennis Brown (talk) 02:07, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
