Not an encyclopedic list, really just a vague/ambiguous bibliography. There seems to be no objective standard which could be established to qualify what books/texts appropriately fit into such a list; it appears as if it will (and has been, in practice) just become a somewhat promotional " coatrack." (And as a side-effect, a bit of a linkfarm). It hasn't been maintained well (see, for example, the completely out of place quote in the lead), and I don't think there is a enough of a consistent / enforceable / clear "encyclopedic" topic behind this article to assume that it even could be improved to stand up to the scrutiny of Wikipolicies. I know the fact that this article needs cleanup and the fact that it is an orphan are not considered reasons for its deletion, but I think they are symptomatic of the fact that it "cannot" be cleaned up (I was contemplatinghow to fix it up, but ultimately came to the conclusion that it may not fit regardless, thus the AfD).

If, on the other hand, there's consensus that we should just list existing articles, that I think this should be converted to an Outline. Guettarda ( talk) 17:16, 31 August 2009 (UTC) reply
