Talk:List of works published posthumously

Phil Hartman
His final episode of The Simpsons aired after his death, is it worth mentioning? Adamravenscroft 21:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

What about
Putting in actors who are in a film long after they died (EX: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Hideyo Amamoto in Kamen Rider the First) through archive footage?Invisible Noise (talk) 15:51, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm against it. I mean, they weren't actively involved in the making of their film before their death.Crboyer (talk) 04:38, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Joey Ramone
His studio album Don't Worry About Me was released in 2002 after he died in 2001 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.19.48.114 (talk) 00:26, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Vergil
It seems that Vergil's Aeneid should fall under the scope of this page. Has there been any specific reason for its exclusion? Perhaps the extreme antiquity of accounts to this effect disqualifies it, or such tales are too anecdotal or legendary? Otherwise, I see no grounds to leave it out.

Anne Frank?
Should we put the book 'The Diary Of Anne FRank' under literature? It IS published writing, diary or not; and I'm pretty sure she was deceased before it was published.

Psychomania
According to IMDB, this was released in 1973. Any sources say that it came out in 1971?Crboyer (talk) 06:45, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Written works
I'm a bit puzzled by the division into 'Literature' and 'Philosophy'. To take a concrete example, where should we put Clausewitz' On War? Philip Trueman (talk) 03:47, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Sections
Couple of points: —D. Monack talk 05:02, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Why are films on this list? They're produced and distributed but not "published".
 * 2) "Drama" and "Philosophy" are both "Literature". Shouldn't "Literature" be renamed "Fiction" or "Novels"?

TV section?
Shall we add in a section about the people who died during production of a TV episode, Not film? I have one example: Pat Morita, The voice of that kung fu master guy in a Spongebob episode "Karate Island" died 6 months before the episode was out. 86.143.10.33 (talk) 02:10, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Randy Rhoads
Ozzy Osbourne's live album was published three years after guitarist Randy Rhoads' death —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.100.209.210 (talk) 23:27, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Joe DiMaggio in The First of May
He appeared (as himself) in the 1999 film The First of May. According to IMDB, that film was released on March 20th of that year, 12 days after his death. However, the (somewhat sparse) WP page for the film gives an earlier release. I assume this was an early premiere, and the later one was a more widespread release? (I personally saw it at a film festival several years after that. Not sure if it was ever widely released.)  Don't know how much validity that IMDB date has, but if it's true, this film might qualify, depending on how we want to treat early premieres. Lurlock (talk) 23:19, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

What happened to the movies?
There used to be posthumously released movies... And now it's gone! What happened to it? 🤔 DBG Channel (talk) 22:46, 20 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Mwahahahaha. I deleted them. In the first place, movies aren't published. In the second and more importantly, books (and musical compositions, which I split off to List of music released posthumously) are generally the work of a single author/composer. Movies are not. Where do you draw the line? Director and leads? Screenwriters? Producers? (And how is this line not WP:OR?) Clarityfiend (talk) 03:21, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It explains so much more now... DBG Channel (talk) 19:41, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * There was no need for two separate pages. This was important to keep together, as it was an easily-consultable (and easy to find!) compendium of each category. I put most of the page together; it was difficult trying to search for most of the names on it, as well as dates, causes, etc., but it was done. Other editors added names I wouldn't have caught, and I'm thankful for them. But this page was meant to be kept together -- please stop disemboweling it. Stolengood (talk) 18:17, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is. As stated, movies are not published.  It is too large - the section split off is over 108,000 bytes alone.  It is unwieldy, difficult to navigate, and the division is justified.  Feel free to add a link in See Also to the movies page if you wish to link them.   Scr ★ pIron IV 18:22, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Shouldn't Karl Marx be added here? If so, should we add an additional "Economics and Social Science" section to this list to allow works like his to fit?
Many works of Karl Marx were only published after his death on 14 March 1883.

In particular, Capital, Volume II, the Theses on Feuerbach, and Capital, Volume III were first published by Friedrich Engels in 1885, 1888, and 1894 respectively. Additionally, Value, Price and Profit was first published in 1898 by Marx's daughter Eleanor, Theories of Surplus Value was first published by Karl Kautsky at any time between 1905 to 1910, the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 and the German Ideology were both first published by the Marx-Engels Institute in 1932, and the Grundrisse was only first published by the aforementioned institute in 1939.

It should however be obvious that a new section covering economics and social science may be needed to maintain good structure for the article, as while works like the Theses on Feuerbach, the 1844 Manuscripts, and the German Ideology could conceivably fit under the label of "Philosophy", the other works listed are much more focused on economics and uncovering the laws of motion of capitalism.

Thanks in advance for any replies,
