Revision as of 22:15, 8 January 2006
Non-linked, unwikified list of romance novels; can be linked and wikified, but what's the point? Paul 20:50, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Given the number of second-rate bands with their own discographies, why shouldn't a well-known, best selling author (of potboilers, to be sure) have the equivalent? Monicasdude 23:27, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- Comment/Question Looking at other authors, it seems the precedent is to have catagories of books by said author. I was originally going to vote merge as a bibliography on Cartlands page, but given the apparent precedent, shouldnt we catagorise? Jcuk 23:49, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, and expand to include all her 724 books (according to the Barbara Cartland article). We do have detailed descriptions of individual pokemon. Why should we treat silly pop cultural topics differently depending on whether the target audience consists of teenage geeks or middle-aged uneducated women? (OK, I'm sure that was a prejudiced generalization, but whatever...) A category is not a great idea, as I doubt we will actually get articles on individual books.

- Keep, a category wouldn't be in chronological order and couldn't give the dates of publication, as I'm sure this will eventually. Kappa 00:31, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Merge: this page would be far more coherent as a wikified bibliography on her own page. --It's-is-not-a-genitive 00:53, 8 January 2006 (UTC)]]
- With 724 books? Kappa 01:01, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep It's essentially a bibliography and bibliographies are in encyclopedias. I take it will end up too large to be in her article though so having it as a separate list sounds valid.--T. Anthony 01:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Strong keep (in line with what Tupsharru says). Personally, I think Barbara Cartland novels stink, but we've got (for instance) exhaustive lists of Bionicle Toas, Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game cards and baseball statistics. It would represent a systematic bias - call it ageism, sexism, classism, whatever you want - not to include these massively popular novels just because they're outside the usual patterns of geekery.
