Merger Discussion[edit]

Done I propose that Extrême contemporain be merged into Contemporary French literature. Both articles are duplicate. I think that the content in the Extrême contemporain article can easily be explained in the context of the contemporary Fr. lit. (a term of which it is somehow synonym). Both articles are short and the merging will not cause any problems. ટ 08:18, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vote[edit]

Support.- Both articles deal with exactly the same matter. Extrême contemporain is only another (and not so clear nor common ....nor translated in English) way of phrasing the same thing. Hence, one article is better.ટ (Merger proposer)

Merge to Contemporary French literature page : proposal (Discussion from the merged page)

I am not very sure this “concept” deserves an article by itself. It has none on the Fr. WP, whatever that means.

The concept is indeed vague (or at least, as the page itself states it, ever-shifting), but above all it is not commonly used (even in France, even by scholars), and the article ends up as a simple collection of names with a few generalities about how contemporary literature in France could be qualified. Therefore, could'nt it be removed and its interesting data transferred inside the article Contemporary French Literature, which is for now rather poor too (and where the concept can be mentioned) ?— Pierre et Condat (talk) 04:54, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For vote and discussion about this merger, please go here.

This so-called "concept" is absolutly unknown in France ! At least, the US Roman Studies could coin a "concept" using english terms... -- Spiessens 09:31, 15 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spiessens (talk • contribs)

Criticism[edit]

This article read like a criticism section. It is one-sided. It presents Nancy Huston view, but no other.S711 (talk) 11:56, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
