[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)
  • Keep but move to Colin Thiele bibliography. Compare naming format to articles such as Kylie Minogue discography. -- Chuq 07:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Wikipedia is an encylopedia, not a collection of bibliographies. A link should be provided on the Colin Thiele page to an off-site bibliography. michael talk 05:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename per Chuq. We can afford a bibliography on one of the most prolific authors of Australia. RFerreira 05:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
