List of Portuguese books by title

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

As far as I can see, violates the WP:NOT facets: not an indiscriminate collection of info, not a directory. Was thinking about speedy deleting it, but it would proll'y have been too pretentious. David Fuchs( talk /  frog blast the vent core!  ) 15:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This could set a useful precedent for quickly and easily finding books from particular countries, as opposed to List of books by title, which really violates WP:NOT. - Freechild 18:56, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Categories already sort by title, so the list is essentially useless. Whsitchy 20:23, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Utterly unmanageable. Definitely WP:NOT. Who goes searching for books by country? Clarityfiend 20:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Whstchy. WP:NOT, recentism, no context. Pavel Vozenilek 21:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as unmaintainable. There are thousands of books published in Portugal every year (and many more published in Portuguese languague), most of them are NN and apart from the Portuguese national library no one needs such a list. Malc82 11:17, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * There already are the categories Portuguese novels and Portuguese literature, which should be enough to cover the notable books. Malc82 11:28, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - the only merit in this kind of list is to identify articles that are needed, but this list is much to wide-ranging and unmaintainable. This is currently a list of 160 books of which 90% are red links, though in many case the authors have articles.  In the English WP, a foreign language book would need to be notable in English, not merely notable in its origianl language, to warrant inclusion.   Peterkingiron 17:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
