[edit] Being complete is excessive?
In reply to the short story list I added being removed... WTF? Being complete is the whole point of wikipedia. Now maby it needs it's own page (List of Short Stories by James White) or womthing like that. But the list should be, at the very least, linked to from this page. Why was it simply removed?

- Generally, with an author as prolific as White, we would not give a complete bibliography. Instead, we would give a list of the most important works (novels, generally, or particularly important stories), and then construct a bibliography page as you suggest. However, even then listing every single story seems excessive to me, falling under the category of What Wikipedia is Not. It is the literary equivalent of citing a list of da Vinci's paintings and including every sketch he ever made. Either way, a bibliography page would probably be appropriate.Michaelbusch 23:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
