Large ongoing/prior discussion at User talk:Charles Matthews#Enid Blyton. Length of this list seems to be the main (only?) problem from his perspective. I favour the merge. -- Quiddity 18:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
I think using columns would only discourage adding extra information (rather than the bare titles). I don't think the suggestions really take into account what a properly annotated list with 600+ books on would look like. Charles Matthews 18:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Obviously that's better; but it is clear that the material will easily expand to over 100K if some attention is paid to it. You're only going to get a sensible size with decades. (And, by the way, what's all this about AfD? There are page histories, you know. Cut-and-paste creation on a massive scale is not good practice.) Charles Matthews 18:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
WP can deal perfectly well with lists of 600 items. There is no need to an unprecedented division of a authors works into a large number of different chronological pages. 100K will still be nowhere near the longest WP article. There is no arbitrary limit. . DGG 06:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to complete the merge, and make the source pages incoming redirects.
Hopefully the data will eventually be tabulated, for easy sorting by title/year/series/illustrator. -- Quiddity 20:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Not sure if this is the right place to discuss, but I was surprised that hardly any of the books have their own article, particularly those from popular series such as 'The Secret Island'. Is there any reason for this, or am I free to start writing some? Twistme 20:10, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
