relevence and off-topic

If this is a "List of United States Presidential autobiographies", then any autobiography that doesn't cover the presidential period is not relevant and off-topic. I don't see why we need a list of presidents who did not write autobios, either, since this is a list of autobios, and not a list of presidents and their autobio status. If this list is supposed to cover all autobiographies written by POTUSes, then the article name is wrong, it should be List of autobiographies by United States Presidents; otherwise "The Audacity of Hope" and similar works should be removed. -- 70.24.247.242 (talk) 02:53, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Reply


It's a list of president's who wrote autobiographies; any one written by a president is relevant, regardless of if it covers the presidency or not. 65.215.51.113 (talk) 15:01, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I agree that the list of presidents who did not write autobiographies was appropriate to get rid of. I do however think that it is appropriate to keep a list of memoirs and autobiographies written by presidents that do not cover the years of their presidencies. If we wanted to move the article to the name suggested above, we certainly could, but I can go either way on that. I am going to add Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe to the list of books that covers non-presidential years. KConWiki (talk) 02:54, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I think List of autobiographies by presidents of the United States would be the best and clearest title.

More importantly, however, each book's full publication information needs to be added to complete each entry (who published it and when), and the links to Amazon or whomever selling these books have to go per WP:EL. postdlf (talk) 02:00, 28 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
