Currently, there is disagreement on whether red-linked authors should appear in the main list. For now, I am posting the list of authors here, so that we can still see them and continue to create articles for them.
I've noticed this on several of the newly created authors websites and thought I would broach the subject here. In the external links section and references section on some of these pages it looks like somebody is promoting websites. Wikipedia does not exist to promote websites and it looks like that's what's being done in some of these cases. A good example is this which I just removed from Jill Shalvis's page:
Fantastic Fiction, All Romance Writers, Mills & Boon's, and Harlequin Enterprises Ltd's websites are the ones that are being frequently added and I think it's a problem. Not because they're being used as references in the page, if it were just that it wouldn't be a problem, but because the links are being added in a way that looks like the link itself is being promoted. Anybody else concerned or noticed this, or am I being way off base? -- ImmortalGoddezz 21:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I'm working with OCLC, and we are algorithmically generating data about different Genres, like notable Authors, Book, Movies, Subjects, Characters and Places. We have determined that this Wikipedia page has a close affintity to our detected Genere of love-stories. It might be useful to look at [2] for more information. Thanks.

Grammatically and idiomatically, this is a list of "romance novelists," not "romantic novelists." The page should be retitled. (I would do it, but I don't know how.) 173.28.194.241 ( talk) 06:35, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
