About this article's scope

Thanks for creating this article, Rhain! After a bit more thought into it, I felt that we should discuss the scope of this article. Since I'm unfamiliar with bibliography articles, I took a look at Category:Bibliographies by writer for a few more examples, and it seems to be more common for these to be in more straightforward list formats, with notable individual works linked to their own articles. I'm not saying it has to be that way, and I would normally fully support merging content upstream into a larger article if it would eliminate several dead-end stubs, which are unhelpful to everyone. In this case, however, several of these books (Miyazaki's two books and McCarthy, at least, which were also on my list to write about) should have enough content about them to fill out decently well-developed articles on their own merits. I wouldn't want to just split out Miyazakiworld without doing the rest of them, though, so I'd love to hear your thoughts about this. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:46, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TechnoSquirrel69: Appreciate the message! I looked at a lot of bibliography articles before writing this one and decided this was the best format, partially inspired by Elizabeth David's; as you said, I'd rather have one larger article than multiple stubs. I considered separate articles for some, but felt Miyazakiworld was the only one that could really justify it at a decent length. That being said, you're more than welcome to take a shot at Miyazaki's and McCarthy's books (even in draftspace). There's no reason this article can't still exist even if those are split—all we'd have to do is trim the sections here summary style. The same goes for Miyazakiworld, of course. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:32, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I don't mind taking a crack at that sometime in the future; it's not currently a very high priority among the other projects I'm working on, but it's on the to-do list. I'll keep you updated in case I make any breaking changes to this article. Hope you've been doing well, by the way! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good; looking forward to it! I have faith that all of your edits will be great anyway—regardless, the only major edits to this article would likely be adding new entries or splitting sections summary style, so nothing to be concerned about. I hope you've been well too! I look forward to crossing paths more as we both continue working in this space—I only wish I could continue working on major projects more frequently. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 04:45, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
