Talk:List of books by Amory Lovins

Merge proposal
Suggest merge with main article--this is not all that long a list that it wouldn't fit fine there.  DGG ( talk ) 13:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I am happy to expand this list to include all 29 of Lovins' books, and add a lead section introducing the article. But if it is merged that is fine too. Johnfos (talk) 20:46, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Only notable books should be included. See WP:NOT. Verbal chat  23:37, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

PROD tag
Verbal has placed a PROD tag on this article with the comment 'Duplicates information already contained in Amory Lovins and the category "Books by Amory Lovins"'

There is some overlap between this list and Category: Books by Amory Lovins, but not complete duplication. There shouldn't be a problem with this as "lists, categories and navigation templates are synergistic—the benefits of their redundancy are covered in WP:CLN", which says "many users prefer to browse Wikipedia through its lists, while others prefer to navigate by category; and lists are more obvious to beginners, who may not discover the category system right away".

There is some overlap between this list and the selected bibliography at Amory Lovins, but this list is more comprehensive.

I am happy to expand this list to include all 29 of Lovins' books, and add a lead section introducing the article. But if it is merged per the current proposal that is fine too. Deletion of the article doesn't seem necessary, so I'm removing the PROD tag. Johnfos (talk) 20:46, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Why should we include non notable information, and in a list format? Unless references are added for these books I'll take it to AfD. The parent article should contain notable information. Verbal chat  23:36, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * The information in an article does not thave to be notable. Only the subject of the article needs to be notable. The information needs to be relevant, and not so trivial as to fail :WP:UNDUE. We have thousands of articles listing all the book-length publications of an author, though we are much less inclusive of smaller work. In any case, i agree with Verbal and Johnfos that this should be merged, and i see it has been done.     DGG ( talk ) 16:26, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
