Title?

edit

At the moment, this article reads like it should be titled "Timeline of lesbian teen fiction". -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 17:15, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

That's true. Do you have any ideas how to change this? — Emiellaiendiay 19:36, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Incomplete list?

edit

Why is the list of books headed "Complete list" when it is obviously incomplete? For one thing, it discourages additions. Robina Fox 13:46, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Good point. I'll change it. It was titled as such because there used to be other lists, divided by decade. — Emiellaiendiay 05:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

List

edit

What order is that list in? It's not chronological or alphabetical. Czolgolz (talk) 21:25, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

There are no criteria listed for the selections here. Is it a timeline? a list of suggestions? just a random collection hoping to include one-title-per-year? Hard to tell. I came here hoping for a guide, an overview... and, of course, to find some new titles in an underpopulated field. But I didn't expect to find self-published books in a Wiki likely to get serious traffic, & that does seem problematic on several fronts. Quality (however subjective) & availability being foremost.

If others feel such titles deserve equal visibility with their more official counterparts, perhaps someone could at least briefly discuss how these choices are being made? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.188.238 (talk) 20:50, 25 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merge

edit

The specific phrase "lesbian teen fiction" does not seem to be notable, looking at the sources on this page. Most sources speak of young adult, lesbian-themed fiction. The difference may seem minute but I don't think so: one is an actual subgenre and the other implies a collection of books sharing certain themes but not necessarily inside the same genre. The latter is not a good topic for an article.

A merger therefore seems called for. This article is a hybrid between a list and a more traditional article, so a split-and-merge operation seems best: merge the textual content into Lesbian fiction and merge the list into List of books portraying sexual relations between women. Does anyone have any objections to this course of action? If not then I will do it in a couple of days. —K. the Surveyor (talk) 07:14, 10 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
