Unsourced significant work section

@C.J. Griffin: would you be so good as to provide discussions of each of those works in a WP:RS? I don’t doubt that some of them are notable, but currently none have anything to vouch for their significance. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:45, 3 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Some of those works are discussed or referenced here and here. I'm sure I can find others given the time. Both discuss the debate between Wheatcroft and Conquest, which further demonstrates their significance. I have seen many Wikipedia articles on scholars, historians, etc which have "Selected works" sections that do not contain references for each work listed, and editors are not going in and wiping them out because of this. Seems a bit extreme to me.--C.J. Griffin (talk) 05:26, 4 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

In general its discouraged, only significant works should be featured and significance is demonstrated by being featured in a WP:RS. Even when an article contains unsourced selected works (it shouldn't) its almost never longer than the actual article as it is here. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 05:31, 4 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
