message: I've just created Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lists of works) for discussion about the layout of discographies, filmographies, bibliographies and the like.  It is an attempt to standardise these lists, as their styles currently vary greatly (order, content, layout).  I thought it might be of interest to the partipants on this WikiProject.  violet/riga (t) 16:56, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lists of works 

message: Hi folks,
I just wanted to let you know about a list of deletion debates on biographical articles.  You can find it here:  Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/People.  Note that this includes a number of more specific sublists, such as actors, athletes, authors, and musical performers.  
If you find these lists useful, please help to maintain them by adding new items and archiving old ones.  Thanks!
Cheers,

thread_title:  Deletion list 

message: On the main page for this WikiProject, in the "Hierarchy and classification" section the following statement appears: "There shall be a List of people which will act as a main source to list the various biographies."  I do quite a bit of work on disambiguation pages and the disambiguation of personal names is a sigficant chunk of this work; related to this, I've done some thinking and work related to cross-communication between List of people by name and related disambiguation pages (baby steps, that's all).  I am wondering if there is any relationship of working, interest, or scope between this WikiProject and the (vast) set of pages devoted to listing people by different criteria, in particular by name.  My primary aim is to find the appropriate set of people to include in discussions in order to minimize impact of changes that might take place or to maximize the utility of such changes.  Thank you for the input. Courtland 01:13, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This relates to a pilot effort i've just begun at Talk:List of people by name: Bau-Baz. In contrast to the discussions of templates for use both in LoPbN and (i suppose one or more) Dab, this forgoes automation but facilitates orderly copying in at least one direction.  Each LoPbN page with names on it it would, if a scheme like this is extended, have a corresponding section "Dabs (etc.) for More Names" on its talk page, providing lks to pages (almost exclusively Dabs) that could use periodic checking for new names.  This doesn't directly help readers, but may in the long run be the most effective way of encouraging a more efficient propagation of data into LoPbN.  It could be extended to sort of work in both directions by including in its explanation at the top something about adding a cmt on the Dab page, and the Dab page's talk page having a lk to the LoPbN names & talk pages (esp'ly if the Dab page doesn't have a lk to LoPbN -- a practice whose prevelance and appropriateness are unclear to me).--Jerzy•t 20:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
