bibliography

[edit]

As per WP:SPINOFF there is no need for an seperate article for his bibliography. None of his books seem to be independently notable. The sources seem very light for an article on an author so I really can't see the justification for a seperate article. Dom from Paris (talk) 15:16, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Author has sufficiently lengthy bibliography (more than 10 works), so a separate bibliography article is acceptable as per guidelines at https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bibliographies#Author_bibliographies Sunwin1960 (talk) 11:12, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think you may have misunderstood. It says that less than 10 entries should be included in the article but it does not say that 10 or more is a justification for a separate article. At the top of the article it says "For a bibliography on a topic to be notable, the members of that bibliography should be discussed as a group in reliable sources. This discussion may take the form of a published standalone bibliography on the topic, a bibliography in a published reliable source on the topic or recommendations for further reading on the topic published in a reliable source on the topic.". The bibliography of Wilkinson does not meet these conditions. There are almost no independent sources that discuss any of his works individually and none as a group.
