Wikipedia talk:List of bibliographies

External vs. internal bibliographies

I found this list, List of books about Oakland, California, which at first glance seemed overly broad and poorly linked. however, what exactly is the argument against such a list, if indeed there is one? the article creator makes some valid points. I see we have listed at this page only 1 WP bibliography, for fly fishing. I note that there is a long list of books that are routinely used as references for WP articles, which themselves do not have articles. I would argue that any work which is referred to multiple times here, is likely to be an often referred to book in the real world, and thus probably qualifies for an article. This is a meta question somewhat off the topic of the oakland list. If the oakland list is for the most part a good idea, then we really should have many, many more such lists, culled from the extensive bibliographies of our articles.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 22:47, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

What I propose

I notice that List of bibliographies redirects here and that this list includes both wikipedia articles and professionally published bibliographies. I think that List of bibliographies should become a list of professionally published bibliographies, as I think they will satisfy WP:NOTESAL as a group. I think that a list of wikipedia articles that are bibliographies should be included as a set index in the mainspace, possibly at Index of bibliography articles.
