List of years in literature

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Strange combination of publishing dates and historical facts, completely unsourced. looks like WP:SYNTH. The Banner talk 20:13, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Interesting, well worked, and worthwhile. Sources and references can be requested; however as an overview of the subject it is useful...Modernist (talk) 00:49, 9 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep I don't really want to argue WP:OTHERSTUFF, but 'list of years' articles exist in most media forms here, including list of years in film, list of years in music, list of years in television and...several others, as found in this template, which is no different from those. I do not deny this needs sourcing, but that might be a simple manner of pulling out the highlight cite in each year and linking it.  Nate  • ( chatter )
 * Keep To me it looks simply like a directory of "(year/century) in literature" articles, with some prose bits (so that it differentiates from solely a category). Sources can be extracted from the year/century articles per Mrschimpf. Non-partisan summaries with NPOV are not sythesis IMHO.  野狼院 ひさし  Hisashi Yarouin 05:54, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
