Collected Writings of H. P. Blavatsky

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article is a trivial content fork of Helena Blavatsky. There is no information here that cannot be usefully merged back to the main article and the only unique information here is to list out each year that each volume was originally published. There has been a history of creating such content fork articles for each Theosophy neologism, theory and book which appears to artificially inflate the importance of the topic.

 * Delete This article seems to have confused two different protocols for the structure of articles in the WP:BOOK project. It has elements of a standard book article, and also elements of a bibliography article (such as Herman Melville bibliography). This Collected Writings item could probably be considered a multi-item book release so at most it should part of an author bibliography article, but not a bibliography itself. The content of this article should be merged back to Helena Blavatsky, which appears to need a lot of work anyway. As for the "Collected Works" series, that might qualify for a standard book article if the editors can come up with more information and use the WP:BOOK templates and protocols.

 * Delete This is merely a list of the volumes of her collected works, without even any indication of their content. I think it would be rather difficult to make an article out of such a book in any case, unless the collected works were in some way notable asides from the individual works themselves, or if that were the primary publication of an author, as sometimes happens.
