[edit] Dreadful article
I must say, this is one of the worst articles in all of Wikipedia. It's a list of dot points and hyperlinks to articles about broad movements in literature, with no explanation of how they relate to German literature. This isn't my area but it blows my mind that Swedish Literature contains so much more useful information than this article does. Colonel Mustard (talk) 03:10, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Agreed. It all needs to be tied together into some kind of relevant history of the literature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaeltaft (talk • contribs) 06:58, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
- I second this. Would it be worthwhile to organize it differently, or have sections or even separate articles for different genres? An entry on German poetry would certainly warrant its own article, and then we could link to other articles that are currently orphans, such as Brecht's poetry.

[edit] WPG importance
I don't want to change a recent assessment unilaterally, but this is definitely more than mid-importance according to Wikiproject Germany's own importance scale. I would rank this as at least high importance - my own preference would be for Top importance. If the Economy of Germany is top importance, as is Bach, it doesn't make sense to me *not* to include German literature in this ranking, especially because of the historical importance of its various literary traditions for German philosophy, culture, and politics. Literature in this case is a large, diachronic category with a huge scope and significance, whereas the economy article only spans the mid-20th century to the present. What are others' thoughts?
