::This has come up in other guises too, not only books. My view is that we cannot have book titles as encyclopedia entries, otherwise it is cluttering and confusing. On the other hand, we can have articles which deal with a topic [which might also be the title of a book]. Given that the God Delusion appears to be a thesis specific to one book by Dawkins, then it should not be an article in its own right because it is really a book review. So, where should book reviews go? Do we allow them? --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 19:25, 11 November 2007 (CST) | |||

- This has come up in other guises too, not only books. My view is that we cannot have book titles as encyclopedia entries, otherwise it is cluttering and confusing. On the other hand, we can have articles which deal with a topic [which might also be the title of a book]. Given that the God Delusion appears to be a thesis specific to one book by Dawkins, then it should not be an article in its own right because it is really a book review. So, where should book reviews go? Do we allow them? --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 19:25, 11 November 2007 (CST)
