User:Cybercobra/NOT card catalog
To detail my objections:
- WP:NOT#OR"Primary (original) research" - the choice of which entries to include is somewhat arbitrary, especially when the bibliography is so lengthy
- WP:PROMOTION- "Self-promotion" - it's quite possible some of the entries were added by their own authors
- card catalog
- WP:NOTDIR"not a directory" (the section's very title) & specifically (#4) "Directories [...]" - a bibliography is a directory of related reading materials
- WP:INDISCRIMINATE"an indiscriminate collection of information" - when the bibliography entries are so great in number, the criteria becomes less well defined (i.e. how can these articles be considered 'select' when there are so darn many of them?)
These problems are significantly reduced when bibliographies are just "Further reading" sections of existing pages, as their length tends to be significantly curtailed and their selection criterion thus more elite; and some of the guidelines also cease to be applicable when a bibliography is not a separate page unto itself. --Cybercobra (talk) 12:05, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
