White Writing: On the Culture of Letters in South Africa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

the author is a Nobelist, and any substantial work of his is notable. Even some or many individual essays might be. I do not think we should necessarily extend it to collections of essays, unless they've been as a collection the subject of critical comment that discusses the collection as such. I think that's going to be very rare, tho it can happen.  DGG ( talk ) 04:51, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

 * We know the author and his work are notable. So the real question is whether this should be covered in a stand-alone article or merged into a broader article on the author's work. So Keep and determine whether merging or leaving it independent is a better choice. Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:14, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, the fact that it's by Coetzee might possibly mean that this meets criteria #5 of WP:BK. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:51, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
