[edit] Recaptured literature

Recaptured literature (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article has no sources, and I can find no evidence that this term is used by academics, reviewers, or anyone at all. Every Google hit is a reference to this article—there are no other online references to this term anywhere. When the article first appeared, I asked the originating editor to provide print references for this term. No such references have been produced. ShelfSkewed Talk 06:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Fails WP:V. If anyone adds sources to the article, I'll reconsider. Deor 11:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, weakly, and without prejudice to re-creation, unless some kind of reliable sources are found. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. After twenty minutes of fruitless searching, I've found that this movement is either in the beginning stages and has yet to receive mainstream acceptance or just doesn't exist. ShelfSkewed is correct that most Google hits (there are only twenty-two for the exact phrase, by the way) are Wikipedia mirror sites, and I highly doubt reliable sources are available after looking through a few Lit journals at my disposal.
