  • Merge to 2012 in literature, as per Ninney, modelled on 2011 in literature. No apparent good reason that recent literature review articles should be divided by nation. Yes, the YYYY in literature series needs work. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:10, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Its been a month & we are still in discussion or this discussion might have been ignored. Why are we having such a brain storming discussion only for a couple of entries? Or is it related to the country Australia; If it would have been India, my very own country, I would still have marked the page for deletion / tried to update the article. Once a Wikipedian or also once a book reader, we are global citizen & not divided by any boundaries, no regional lock outs. I am a Bibliophile person, a book collector. I love reading books. I also enjoy reading the works of many Australian authors & that is how I reached this article. I cannot update the article since I am busy with some other Wikiprojects & hence I requested to merge those entries. Is it that tough to do so ?

The result of 2011 in literature as well as 2013 in literature was merge. So, humble request to close the discussion as early as possible. - Ninney (talk) 16:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

  • keep There will surely be more. The same goes for 2011 and 2013, but fortunately they can be unmerged when we need to. On a national level , there will always be good material for any 21st century year 'DGG (at NYPL)' (talk) 19:21, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
