List of GURPS books
- List of GURPS books (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
This list of books is little more than a publishers catalogue, and as such is prohibited advertising or other spam without relevant content per WP:Spam. As most of the articles about the books listed have not been created or are about to be deleted if they have, they are ideal AfD candidates. The list fails to demonstrate notabilty per Misplaced Pages:Notability (books). --Gavin Collins 12:29, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Strongly keep: as for it being "spam", it could be said of any article containing references to present books or products. Moreover, this article lists all GURPS books, many of them out of print, so it can hardly be spam (I'd be quite glad if I could find a copy of GURPS Conan, for instance). As for the structure of the article itself, Misplaced Pages is also a reference work, and an article like this one is not dissimilar in its function from (don't gasp) List of compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. --Goochelaar 11:14, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Just a detail: I am not sure about "most of the articles about the books listed have been or are about to be deleted". The page is desolately rich in redlinks, but the articles were never written: apparently somebody put in too many hopeful links. Could I see the deletion logs for the deleted articles? --Goochelaar 11:25, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: You are correct - none have been deleted, just not created, and I have amended the AfD accordingly. For instance, articles have not been created for the many books listings, such as this classic: GURPS Castle Falkenstein: The Ottoman Empire. Honestly, I don't think Misplaced Pages is the place for this list or any of these books: perhaps the publisher's own website, Amazon or Ebay would be better. Notabilty yet to come. --Gavin Collins 12:29, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
