List of Freedom Press Books

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I am baffled by the existence of this list, which I think fails WP:NOTDIR, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and WP:LISTN. It does not aid in navigation, because a fair number of the books do not have WP entries. It is unsourced. And all relevant information about the publisher can be found and included at Freedom Press. Wikipedia is not a mirror of Worldcat—and this is actually substantially less useful than a library catalog entry. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 21:50, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "It is unsourced." I find that claim baffling, when made regarding a list of books. The rest of the nomination seems fairly on point so I have no comment on other issues. postdlf (talk) 22:06, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You're right; struck that bit. Though I suppose one might have sourcing questions with books from the pre-ISBN era, where connecting a book to its publisher is less straightforward. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 22:09, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I added brackets for a few names and titles to check for notability. Some of the books are notable. It seems like a lot of research went into this article so wanted to add a note of hesitation. BobFromBrockley (talk) 17:03, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: I agree with Nom. Since this is covered by WorldCat, there's no reason to have it in Wikipedia. Also WP:WWIN. Normal Op (talk) 19:27, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
