The result of the debate was keep. —Xezbeth 18:01, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)
This article is extremely limited, and duplicates the Category unnecessarily, creating confusion and dismay in well-meaning Wikipedians. It need not exist, if you see my meaning, and so I think it wants Deletion. Dave1898 00:34, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, I don't see Category:Literary movements explaining what any of them are. Kappa 00:55, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep --Fuzzball! (talk) 01:32, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and move to List of Literary Movements Klonimus 02:09, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- This is essentially a list ATM, concur with Klonimus: Rename as List of literary movements. Megan1967 03:00, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I'm worried. I actually agree with Klonimus on something. Move to List of literary movements. (note capitalization). RickK 06:26, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
- Move per RickK's (correct) capitalization. An annotated list could be quite helpful on this topic. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 16:55, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Seen from that point of view, the article considered as an annotated list (rather than a self-contained attempt at description and analysis) is certainly salvageable. Pardon me--I'm relatively new at Wikipedia, and don't always see these possibilities. Once the five days is up, then, I shall plan to edit a List of literary movements page, if no one else does so first. I do think that the article as it stands is extremely limited in scope, treating as it does only movements of the 20th century, and then only movements either European or popularized in Europe; if deletion is not called for I do think the list will need at least to wear a stub template for quite a while.

- Delete. The topic is important but current article makes more harm than help. Someone more knowledgeable will create something better in the future, hopefully. Pavel Vozenilek 01:59, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
