[edit] Works of Pope Benedict XVI

Please note the comment by Copysan below. The article on Pope Benedict XVI is already 79kb long as it is. Take this into consideration before you consider a merge. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - this is not an indiscriminate list. MER-C 07:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This list provides an ordered collection of the Pope's written works. This is entirely in line with policy and has nothing to do with Amazon. As MER-C said, it's not indiscriminate. We can't turn it into a category either without creating tens of stubs about the works in question. And it's too long to put in the main Pope article. This is fine right where it is. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Mgm. Stammer 11:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per those above. This is a list of strictly defined parameters and will remain so even if the Pope does nothing but write until he shuffles off this mortal coil. It's far too long to go anywhere else, too. Additionally, the Estonians seem to have nothing against their copy of the list, so I'd say it's probably notable enough for us as well.

• Merge with the Popes bio, there is no need for an additional list Rough 14:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Undeniably notable and of general interest, however it does appear that there is no similar list for John Paul II (as in one that includes pre-Pope material, too) and I recommend one be created since he was a noted writer before he became pope. 23skidoo 14:32, 28
  • But that would not be with the Pope's bio, but with Ratzinger's. He was not the Pope when he wrote most of his notable works. Someone should maybe start a bio for his pre-pope days Alf photoman 16:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge as per Rough. Scienter 15:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge, I fully agree with Rough Alf photoman 16:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Germany-related deletions. -- Kusma (討論) 16:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Pope Benedict XVI, nothing much but just a list of his works. No need for a seperate article, people would want to know the works of the Pope still. --Terence Ong 16:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep seems worthy, especially as it was nominated by a newcomer. Perhaps some of his main works could be mentioned in his article. Hut 8.5 18:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• keep per mgm. a notable author is a notable author. If there are enough works to need a page, they merit a page.DGG 23:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and do not merge The Pope Benedict XVI page, at 79 kb, is big enough. Copysan 01:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per mgm, and most definitely do not merge given the current size of the Pope Benedict XVI article. RFerreira 02:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep on account of WP:SNOW and merge. --Dennisthe2 04:16, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Some more comment on the list would be nice. Could it be included in Theology of Pope Benedict XVI? Kusma (討論) 21:32, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, HH should have all the space he needs 200.106.170.4 00:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
