Article reflects a literary genre that doesn't exist. It’s a tag on Goodreads. Google Scholar returns nothing of note other than one article which mentions the Goodreads page. — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 23:21, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No source indicates that this is an actual genre. KidAd • SPEAK 23:30, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A neologism that has received pretty much no critical attention. Seems to have originated with this blog. The strongest evidence I could find for its existence was this Telegraph article that outright admits "Boomer lit is relatively hard to come across if you don't know what you're looking for." The few GScholar results I found on it seem to equivocate Boomer lit with matron literature, if a redirect target is sought. Kncny11 ^(shoot) 04:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Notability is not inherited, fails GNG. Kieem trra (talk) 15:34, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What does this have to do with inherited notability? KidAd • SPEAK 16:22, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@KidAd: My guess is that they mean notability isn't inherited, in this case, from matron literature. — ImaginesTigers (talk∙contribs) 17:43, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No indepth sources available. fails GNG. TheDreamBoat (talk) 00:18, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
