List needs to be separated between lost and surviving works

This list needs to be reduced to a list of mostly preserved epic poems, with a link to another list containing both surviving and mostly lost works.

As it is, this list is very incomplete in including lost works (such as Merlin: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Merlin_(Robert_de_Boron_poem)) and yet, it does not seem useful to add lost works to it, because for most people the utility of this list will be to find works that were influential enough to survive, and about whose contents there are few mysteries, and which may be read.
