Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hunger und Seide
Per rationales of each previous keep vote above. The Literature Nobel is given for an author's '''body of work''' to date, any item of which should be presumed to have been considered in the decision; subsequent works obviously were not, but are likely to receive attention sooner because of the author's recognition. This mass deletion listing seems only to have avoided (with the exception of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nadirs, below), only those which won individual awards, were previously translated into English, or had been previously reviewed in the ''New York Times'', Wikipedia:Systemic bias of foreign-language materials in , at least those available online, which made possible development of specific articles about her work. The author was the subject of biographies, in 1992, 1993, 2002, and 2003, not because she was Romanian, wrote in German, or left Romania, but ''because of the quality and breadth of her writing as a dissident''; while she was awarded the Nobel in 2009, she had been discussed as a possible candidate prior to 2009's ''The Land of Green Plums''. If not kept, '''Redirect''' to 'Herta Müller' as valid search term
