Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bibliographies

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Bibliographies. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Bibliographies|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Bibliographies. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Marshall Berman bibliography

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is almost entirely made up of primary sources, and what remains doesnt seem to establish notability. Fails WP:LISTN and no significant coverage of his works outside of him. It also seems to mislead that there are more articles based on the books than there are, by using the "iarchive" wikilink. Looks like only one All That Is Solid Melts into Air, which seems AFD worthy as well. I think at least some of this can be selectively merged into Marshall Berman. I would have proded, but past bibliography AFDs have been contested. Metallurgist (talk) 16:43, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To closer: Please wait until the creators block expires before closing, so they have a chance to make an argument against this. Metallurgist (talk) 23:13, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(copied by blocking administrator) Right under WP:LISTN you'll see a link to: MOS:LISTSOFWORKS "Lists of published works should be included for authors, illustrators, photographers and other artists. The individual items in the list do not have to be sufficiently notable to merit their own separate articles. Complete lists of works, appropriately sourced to reliable scholarship (WP:V), are encouraged, particularly when such lists are not already freely available on the internet. If the list has a separate article, a simplified version should also be provided in the main article." 81567518W (talk) 13:54, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
