Talk:The Oxford History of Early Modern Europe

Notability

I came across this while doing NPP. I did some research to see if I could justify removing the PROD. I could not because I could find lots of discussions of the indvidual books, which as RebeccaGreen has just shown are each individually notable, but no sources suggesting the series as a whole is notable. As notability can't be inherited, or in this case the opposite of that, I ended up leaving the PROD. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 13:20, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. I have noted in some of the reviews that they mention the series as a whole - I have not yet attempted to add any evaluations, either of the individual books or the series, from the reviews.

I would also note that WP:NBOOK states:

"A book that meets either the general notability guideline or the criteria outlined in this or any other subject-specific notability guideline, and which is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy, is presumed to merit an article.

This is not an absolute guarantee that there will necessarily be a separate, stand-alone article entirely dedicated to that book. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article."

This seems to me a good instance where one article on the series may be better than 7 or more separate articles on the individual books. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:25, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Given the newness of the series and its academic bent I think the idea that one article on the series encompassing all the books rather than individual ones on the books is a strong one. Good enough for me to remove the PROD and mark it reviewed with NPP. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 13:27, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
