• Keep While this was initially a little difficult to parse, as both "pregnancy novel" and "pregnancy literature" give a very long but mostly irrelevant list of findings in Google Scholar, "pregnancy stories" does demonstrate that this is a notable topic.

• Delete. Not enough context to the article topic and no clear inclusion criteria. If we include all known works where a character was pregnant, the list would be indiscriminate. Ajf773 (talk) 08:13, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete no objective definition of what a “pregnancy novel” even is, would be much better covered by a category. Dronebogus (talk) 19:39, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete As fails WP:LISTN and WP:GNG with an entirely unsourced article. My WP:BEFORE does not give anything and I don't think a "pregnancy novel" is even a thing. There are some academic works that speak about representations of pregnancy in literature but these in no way support the notability of this page. As I say on most of these discussions - if editors believe that the topic of "pregnancy in literature" is notable then create an article about it not a list!

• Comment: Would this be better served with a specific category such as "Human pregnancy in literature"? ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 12:50, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
