I'm taking these out of the article and putting them here for now. Some of these could be good references for the article, but they need to be integrated as inline refs. As "external links" or "further reading", they just clutter it up.

@ Sadads: I removed all redlinks from the "Other examples" section, a move which you reverted. You are of course correct that there's no objection against redlinks, and I do expect that some of these are likely notable, too. The problem a list like this, though, is that without inclusion criteria, it simply gets too long. And either it already is too long, or the section name should be changed from "Other examples" to "List of works of climate fiction". If, however, the purpose really is to list a number of examples and not all climate fiction novels in existence, "no redlinks" is the least arbitrary inclusion criterium I can think of.

Cli-fi redirects here but has substantial text after the #REDIRECT directive. Please can an editor familiar with the subject un-redirect, merge, delete or otherwise deal with the content? Pinging the main contributor, Thelma et Serena. Thanks, Certes ( talk) 15:55, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
Is anyone opposed to cutting the large lists to a separate article? I don't want to remove the work but it's hard to provide a summary weaving through that many items. Greenbound ( talk) 05:05, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
Looking at this article, what strikes me even more than the listishness is the seeming obsession with what happens to be in a single language, English. This oddity isn't limited to this one article. The French article on climate fiction is even titled Englishly, " Climate fiction", and is mostly about stuff in English, with a scrap about French appended as an afterthought. The Italian, " Climate fiction", is similarly disappointing. (I didn't look at the others.) Conceivably, all of this reflects a lack of writing in languages other than English; but (climate fiction ignoramus that I am) I find this hard to believe. -- Hoary ( talk) 08:26, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
