Talk:List of literary awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Proposed Merge
It has been suggested that the section Literature from the article List of prizes, medals, and awards be merged into this article or section. (copied from article template)
- Support - It is the largest section. Prizes, medals, and awards could seem to be nearly infinite, especially if military awards are counted. I see the bigger list becoming more and more a link to lists by subject. I also like the idea of grouping, but not breaking apart by country. I found a site detailing around 50 Japanese Literary Awards - many more than are on this current list. I'd rather see lists by topic rather than topic of country x. Finding List of prizes, medals, and awards in Singapore gave me a shudder. --EarthPerson 04:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Meh. Duplication is never a bad thing, especially in the 'pedia. I guess I support the merge in practice, but not in theory. -steventity 07:12, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Support. Duplication is actually a very bad thing, as it makes content-forking inevitable, and leads to unnecessary bulking of articles. A merge would be excellent, per Wikipedia:Summary style. --Quiddity 17:25, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Merge away per EarthPerson. Her Pegship (tis herself) 21:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Done. --Quiddity 01:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Other lists
I'm going to merge the American list here too. There are only 2 items that differ between them, and as stated above, duplication is bad because it leads to content-forking. The alternative would be the opposite: Using just a {{main}} link here and all the content at the subpage, per WP:SUMMARY style.
The British and Australian subpages are more complex, so I'll leave them be. --Quiddity 01:58, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
