List of books by a publisher; should be deleted due to WP:NOTCATALOG. Mikeblas (talk) 01:37, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per nom. Completely violates WP:NOTCATALOG. Timothytyy (talk) 08:39, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Comics and animation and Lists. Shellwood (talk) 09:45, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I don't see how NOTCATALOG applies here. Would anyone like to explain why this list isn't acceptable under WP:SAL? Jclemens (talk) 20:44, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See #6 at WP:NOTCATALOG, which says "Thus, for example, Wikipedia should not include a list of all books published by HarperCollins, but may include a bibliography of books written by HarperCollins author Veronica Roth." and applies pretty directly here. Hope that helps! -- Mikeblas (talk) 22:46, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Category:Dynamite Entertainment titles show there are plenty of things they publish that are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia article. So be a valid list for navigation and information. If there were columns listing the years, the writers, how many issues, etc, that'd be more useful. Dream Focus 21:09, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - However, this article needs to be curated and better organized. I think a 90-day period would allow editors to get this article into shape. It certainly doesn't need to go back into the main Dynamite Entertainment article where it used to be. GimmeChoco44 (talk) 01:53, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Point 6 under NOTCATALOG is "A resource for conducting business" and gives an example of every book published by Harper Collins. It also carves out an exception for Lists of creative works with an example of books by a specific author. Unlike traditional book publishers, comic books often have an entwined chronology that unites everything they publish. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:00, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think that applies to this list. For sure, the article doesn't present any "entwined chronology that unites everything", and there are many groups of characters and universes not owned by this publisher. -- Mikeblas (talk) 23:05, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:NOTCATALOG. WP:SAL is a guideline, WP:NOT is a core content policy that supersedes every notability guideline. The entwined chronology reasoning isn't correct; the company uses many different franchises. The keep arguments are invalid and can be discounted.Lurking shadow (talk) 14:44, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
