So this doesn't develop into an edit war it seems best to discuss here I think. Drmies has repeatedly blanked the "Published Works" section claiming that it is too "resume like". In their latest edit this editor has referred to an infobox in their comments, presumably in response to my reference to Template:Biography. As far as I can tell this template has nothing to do with an infobox but is a standard template for a biographical article. It explicitly includes a "Published Works" section. The instructions therein are 'If any, list the works organized by date of publication. See Charles Darwin for example.' Given these instructions I cannot see why this section should be blanked.
Accordingly I am seeking consensus on whether this section should be included or not. It seems to be relevant information for anyone researching the subject of the article as it provides insight into their work, which is presumably why anyone would read the article in the first place.

The "Template:Biography" thing--now I understand what they were pointing at--yeah, "see Charles Darwin for an example", and this is taken literally to mean "list every journal article"? If we take that article for an example, these editors should be creating Jane Philpott bibliography.
Edit war? Don't know--we have tag-teaming here with the intent to promote a person. Drmies ( talk) 22:40, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
