[edit] Colin Thiele Bibliography

The WP:PROD I placed on this article was removed by its author, so I have brought it here for wider consideration. Article should be deleted per Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There is no precedent I'm aware of for such an article, and we should be especially wary about creating one. cj | talk 06:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep while I'm not the biggest fan of the format, Colin Thiele was indeed a very prolific and notable children's author. Far from being an indiscriminate collection of information, this is a very precise and discriminate list of his works--it just so happens to be so abundant that it would overwhelm the main Colin Thiele page.205.157.110.11 07:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
