Talk:List of romantic novelists

message: Currently, there is disagreement on whether red-linked authors should appear in the main list.  For now, I am posting the list of authors here, so that we can still see them and continue to create articles for them.
:*I've removed the list of names because of the same reason that we removed the redlinks from the main page. The reason is that people were just listing names that have little to no chance of passing WP:AUTHOR and I don't doubt that many of these people were posting their own names in the hopes of having their name show up on a Wikipedia or Google hit. You can see the previous list of names at , but this was quickly turning into a long and unmanageable list of names for spammers to add their own name to. The thing about this list is that we have other places for people to request articles on authors, such as here. It's inappropriate to create a full list on the talk page and I honestly should've gotten rid of it a while ago. If anyone coming into this wants to suggest an author, do so here, but ensure that the author actually passes WP:AUTHOR. If the person hasn't been the focus of enough reliable sources, then adding their name to the list will accomplish very little. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but we can't find sources where none exist. Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)  16:40, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
