"Incomplete list" template and list scope[edit]

At the top of this page, the template indicates that the page is in the nature of a list that inherently is unlikely to ever be completed or completeable. That might be true if we were trying to catalog every word that Stout ever wrote, but the page is really a bibliography of Stout's fiction (and poetry), and with that scope understood, I believe the page is substantially complete. Should we consider perhaps tweaking the title and removing the tag? Or should we move in a different direction and add a section on his non-fictional (opinion) writing? Thoughts appreciated.

I'd remove the template. Given that "bibliography" means the study of books, and by extension novellas and short stories, I think we can safely exclude the really short stuff. BTW I got here by following comments on Iridescent (talk · contribs)'s talk page...I was musing to myself whether other arbs or functionaries were editing any article pages..and pleased to find that they were.

I've trimmed the template (which I added). I think that adding Stout's nonfiction at some point is an interesting idea, too. — WFinch (talk) 17:25, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
