not an article, basically a dictionary definition, and the 2 templates are also useless. i created Category:North American literature to parallel the other categories in Category:Literature by continent, which i believe is all the use this phrase needs here.

 * Delete The term is generally used to refer to US and Canadian literature collectively but that's not the meaning here (which includes Central America and the Caribbean)Ӥ. Considering literature of Spanish, English and French-speaking parts together isn't done often; it's an arbitrary grouping that's not notable as a distinct object of study. (In contrast, e.g. sdffe3 Latin American literature is notable because it is the subject of multiple books, has more of a common tradition, and more shared influences particularly in the large Spanish-speaking part.)--Colapeninsula (talk) 13:25, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete At first, I was going to go for keeping this article, until I looked at the article and found out that it said hardly anything - and then I found out we already had a separate article called American literature. About all of the brief information in this article could go in the article American literature, which is a much, much better article. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:24, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as patent nonsense. Merge to Literature of Planet Earth, LOL.  Qworty (talk) 22:29, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

 * there is world literature.. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:28, 4 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per Mercurywoodrose, not a localization that anyone uses. There is Caribbean literature and other things but never combined into a single group for all of North America (which if used means just US and Canada). -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:28, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
