Talk:List of fantasy novels (A–H)

message: Does it seem like Tamora Pierce has way too many novels on this list for an author of her standing?  She has neither the popular or critical acclaim of the vast majority of authors on this list.
:Just so.  Indeed, there is a fair bit of EFP and like sludge here.  But it is difficult if not impossible to strike listings once placed without starting terrible rounds of recriminations and vituperation.  The best alternative is simply to add better works by better authors.  Owlcroft 08:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the Dark Tower series by Stephen King be on here? --Endlessmug 00:14, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it fantasy, science fiction, or horror?  Sci-fi has its own list, and if horror doesn't, then maybe you should start it.  If it is fantasy, though, then go ahead and add it. MamaGeek (talk/contrib) 01:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Are the Alice novels really appropriate for this list, and if so, should not the Leven Thumps series be added also? Sporks.Are.Loverly 17:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia's fair use policy does not allow use of copyright images in list articles such as this one where there is no 'discussion'. The pictures just make the article 'pretty' and that is not enough to meet WP:FU. -- The Red Pen of Doom 02:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Tell me I'm an idiot and I'm just not seeing the Dragonxxxx books?
On a related note I almost missed Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books simply because I don't automatically think of Velgarth as the overarching name for those books - is there a way to do multiple keywords?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.244.231 (talk) 23:01, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else find the "namely..." bits very annoying and somewhat unnecessary? The fact that for some authors they name the novels in a series and others not, it just seems stupid. I'll be bold, and see what the outcome is. Alan16 talkcount 22:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  "namely..." 

message: News coverage -  -  -  The sources aren't fantastic, but show a general notability. The news source though, is a reliable reference. Alan16 talkcount 12:22, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: She is self published getting "local color" at a local news. Not in anyway notable. -- The Red Pen of Doom 01:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Being "self-published" does not make it automatically non-notable. I think there is certainly enough mentioning of her in 3rd party sources. Alan16 talkcount 03:21, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Then create an article about her and see if it survives AfD. (and really, a blog, a catalog and a librarian's local newsletter (as much as I love librarians) are not just "not fantastic" as far as sources go, they are non-starters)-- The Red Pen of Doom 03:34, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

message: According to the Manual of style for stand-alone lists, each list should have selection criteria for membership in the list. This keeps the list from being indiscriminate. The logical criterion for this list, consistent with the term "notable" in the first sentence, is to allow only books that have Wikipedia articles on them. I am going to put all the redlinked articles in Talk:List of fantasy novels (A–H)/redlinks. These could be added to Wikipedia:Requested articles or perhaps some list of requested articles in the relevant wikiprojects. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:10, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Leaving aside the subjective and charged issue of whether it is or is not fiction, no. Whatever else it may be, it is definitely a mixed-genre anthology, which by definition is not a novel. BPK (talk) 15:42, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  should the [[Bible]] be on the list? 

message: Could we automatically add the year of publishing? I am trying to find an old fantasy novel I read in 1983 or so but I don't remember the author or the title. I was hoping to see a list including the years. This would help me find it more rapidly so. 2A02:8388:1641:4980:0:0:0:2 (talk) 11:15, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
