Bibliography of Joyce Carol Oates

[edit]

My apologies - this bibliography article was created with an incorrect title (Bibliography of XXX, instead of XXX bibliography), which I had to correct before deleting the duplicate bibliography material from the main author article. This has now been done, with a link to the bibliography page. A separate bibliography is justified as per guidelines at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bibliographies#Author_bibliographies.

Delete or Merge: Article has duplicate information with Joyce Carol Oates. All the information in this article is already available in Oates article. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 06:30, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. Maybe it was added after your comment, AKS.9955 LadyofShalott 19:18, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: According to this NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/08/books/the-nobel-prize-waiting-game-a-year-for-long-shots-.html), Oates was running in 2nd place (according to odds-makers) as the mostly likely American to win the most recent Nobel Prize in Literature (2014). And here's a review in Britain's The Guardian for Oates's latest novel (http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jan/12/the-sacrifice-joyce-carol-oates-review) that states. "...of all novelists writing in English now, she is the most adroit at capturing the fusion of real events with invented ones." It also says that she has published 40 novels. And each of these articles corroborate that Oates is both a prominent and a very prolific writer. So a separate bibliography page for Oates is, therefore, justified.

Speedy keep as the redirect it is. There was really no need for this discussion, as the redirect is correct. I'd just close it if there weren't already a delete vote, although I am guessing that is for the list article to which this page points. LadyofShalott 19:01, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
