Talk:Andrew Halliday (physician)

Wikilink from Albert Azzo II, Margrave of Milan
I was adding a citation to the Albert Azzo II, Margrave of Milan article when I noticed that the author, Sir Andrew Halliday, did not have a Wikipedia entry. I placed a stub, & then put in an authorlink from the Azzo II page. Since then I added some more text & citations.

Please help by expanding this article. Mahalo! Peaceray (talk) 02:51, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Andrew Halliday (physician) bibliography
No reason this needs to be on a separate article. We'd have another half-million or so articles if every bio entry had a separate 'list of works' entry for that author. LT910001 (talk) 06:33, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your thoughts & consideration about this matter.


 * What's wrong with another half-million or so articles when there may be appropriate reasons for a separate 'list of works'?


 * I was following the axiom set forth in Be bold when I separated the bibliography from the main article. I did so for several reasons.
 * In a printed encyclopedias & biographies, a comprehensive bibliography rarely goes in among the text, & is often placed separately in an appendix.
 * The processing of templates slow down the retrieval & display of an article. The Andrew Halliday (physician) bibliography contains 22 templates not counting the banner or the default sort.
 * In cases of diverse bibliographies, the reader of the biography article might be interested in one or two, or none, & the whole list for that reader would merely serve as visual clutter. To that point, I doubt the same reader would be interested in all subjects as different as royal genealogy, military assessments of Portugal, social reform efforts aimed at improving mental institutions, treatment of emphysema, & the history of the West Indies. If there was an appropriate way of collapsing the bibliography in the biographical article, like with the mobile app, then I think that would be a thing to consider, even if it meant one additional template.

Removing Proposed merge banner
I am removing the proposed merge banner as there has been no discussion of this for well over a year & because the format of the bibliographic list with its infobox will not fit neatly into the article. Peaceray (talk) 04:03, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
