WIP's listed on writer page?

Wondering if there is a standard for including works in progress, particularly under a Selected Works heading? Would the standard be to only include published works with ISBN numbers, or would a wiki editor include works in progress that may have been announced already in reliable press?

This is in regards to a writer / translator page I created here - Max Lawton. Thank you in advance!

If you have a source to cite for it, I think you could include a sentence like “A translation of X was announced in 2024, to be published by Y publisher.” If it’s just something the author has mentioned working on in interviews, I think that’s too speculative to include. I don’t think it’s super important to include forthcoming works since there’s nothing to say about them except the announcement, but if there’s sourcing I also don’t see the harm in including it. Just my take. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 06:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense, I’ll go try to find some sources and specific info on forthcoming publishers etc. Lacanic (talk) 07:00, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Phrases

Hello, I have noticed that phrases on Wikipedia often need work and are caught in limbo between WikiProjects. I am considering starting a Phases and Proverbs Wikiproject, but I want to make sure that it isn't within the scope of this WikiProject but often missed. Phrases aren't covered by this or other WikiProjects, right? I can do stuff! (talk) 22:15, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Literary Fragment

Hello! I'm currently working on the stub for literary fragments. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for an infobox I could use? Since the literary fragment refers to both historical artefacts (such as the fragments of Sappho) and also refers a literary style or form, I'm unsure of what infobox to use or edit. I'm new at this and appreciate any advice! Alsonamedbort15 (talk) 11:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Award-nominated translated works

Hiya! I don't really know where else to ask. If a book translation has been nominated for an award, is it within reason to add it to the "Awards and honours" section of an article, next to other nominations? If yes, how should that be formatted? EdoAug (talk) 20:13, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
