Bibliography

User:DrFleischman removed the bibliography section, in good faith I think. However, it is standard to add a "works" section with books authored by the subject of an article, but not articles. Are these works books or articles please?Zigzig20s (talk) 21:43, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

It's pretty standard to only include notable works, regardless of whether they're books or articles, especially when the list of non-notable works gets pretty long. This sometimes sorts out to "include books, not article" simply because books are often more notable than articles. This is why we have a WP:NOTBIBLIOGRAPHY shortcut to the relevant section of WP:NOT. I routinely delete these sorts of bibliography sections when I see them. This has led to discussions from time to time; I can't remember a single time when the consensus was to keep the section. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 21:52, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

I'd like you to restore the "works" section then please. It sounds like a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, but his books are relevant to his biography. Besides, this is not a stub with a long bibliography. The only potential issue I see is that the books are all in Italian, but that shouldn't be a problem. I see no good reason for your deletion.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:06, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure how but you've misunderstood me. I thought I made my position pretty clear. Lengthy lists of non-notable works should not be included per WP:NOTBIBLIOGRAPHY. There's nothing WP:IDONTLIKEIT about it, and suggesting that my policy-based position boils down to WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not constructive. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 22:23, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

I have left a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography to know what the strict rules are for biographical article. You and I disagree, so hopefully we can reach consensus with the help of other editors! Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:34, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
