Shouldn't The Dark Tower comic be added to this template? Also, what about a "future" section so Duma Key and Blaze can be added?

But the template is already so huge. Anyone interested in adaptations can click on the original work and find the adaptations from there. What about, say, "The Green Mile (1996) (film, 1999)"?

Please stop adding Stephen King Goes to the Movies to this template, especially to the non-fiction section. It is not a book of non-fiction. It is a collection of previously collected short fiction, with very short new intros by King for each. That is all. This book should not be listed under this template at all, because it's not an original work. "The Mist" was also recently released as a stand-alone paperback; doesn't mean it should be added to the template.

Your opinion - which you are entitled too! - However this is a navigation template relating to works by Stephen King. It links all appropriate articles on wikipedia, that is what they do. I take on trust what you say about the collection and have moved it to the "Short story collection" list. Also something you have not done which is to revise the article itself. If it is your opinion that the article shouldn't be here. It might be that it shouldn't be on wikipedia at all. That is a different matter and the article itself should be challenged.

I'm sorry, but this is not just an opinion, but fact. The navigation template also omits other Stephen King works which are minor and are not part of his canonical bibliography, such as Six Stories and The Secretary of Dreams.

It's simple, really. There are those works which are original, canonical. Then there are various reprints and reissues, which this book is. Such books offer nothing, or nearly nothing, new. A bibliographical navigation template in my understanding should only contain these "official" works. If we were to include every book with Stephen King's name on it, the template would be enormous.

However these are navigation templates which offer a "navigation" round the articles within the subject of the template to be found on wikipedia. They are not formal bibliographies (that is elsewhere!) or formal "canonical" lists. They are just that "navigation round wikipedia". Such articles exist on wikipedia so they should be on the template. The question should be rather, if they have no real value as new collections, then they have no real value as "notable collections", then they have no real value as articles on wikipedia (WP:Notable). It is the articles you should be challenging not the template inclusions. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 17:37, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-01-29T17:37:00.000Z","author":"Kevinalewis","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Kevinalewis-2009-01-29T17:37:00.000Z-Goes_to_the_Movies","replies":[]}}-->

As there's been no reply to this proposal, I went ahead and removed the film adaptations sections.

• Delete It's a very large template as it is, and adding things that the author didn't directly have anything to do with is needless. Moreover, the list as is is incomplete anyway.

• Strong Keep I've edited back in the films many times; I'm the one whose adding it back in. I respectfully offer my dearest apologies, but, answer this for me... why is it not possible for this template to include film adaptations while so many others do (ex. Michael Crichton, Roald Dahl, Tom Wolfe)? People keep saying "He didn't write the films". Tom Wolfe didn't write any, Roald Dahl only wrote one, and Michael only wrote one. It doesn't make logical sense to me that the films shouldn't be added because he didn't have a hand in them. -- Cartoon Boy (talk) 9:54, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

• Strong Delete The title of the template is works of Stephen King, not the works of Stanley Kubrick or Rob Reiner, however great those works may be. Stephen King had nothing to do with these works other than being the source material. Would you suggest that O Brother, Where Art Thou? be included in a template about Homer or Greek mythology? Of course not, because it is just the Coen Brothers' retelling of it in their own distinct way, just as Carrie is Brian DePalma's retelling of King's novel in his own distinct way. Also, the films are on the template. It links to the list of film adaptations and that is all you need.BillyJack193 (talk) 17:43, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-10-05T17:43:00.000Z","author":"BillyJack193","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-BillyJack193-2009-10-05T17:43:00.000Z-Jmj713-2009-09-04T22:37:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

• I respect your opinions, and I well know that there is a list for film adaptations, but answer this for me - why are film adaptations acceptable in so many other author works templates (Michael Crichton, Tom Wolfe, Roald Dahl, Dr. Seuss)? I mean, Crichton and Suess have reasonably 'large' templates, yet having a film adaptations section is not a problem. As well, Dr. Suess had no hand in the films but source material (obviously), Tom Wolfe didn't have any, Michael only wrote a few I think, and Dahl only wrote one. I well know that this is a very large template, and that adding fllms would make this ridiculously oversized, but to say that we shouldn't include films because he didn't have a hand in any of them - other than one or a few writing credits - when there are so many others that didn't as well, seems very odd to me. - Cartoon Boy (talk) 7:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

• Strong Keep I agree with Cartoon Boy. Why is it that film adaptations can be tolerated in other author templates (see Cartoon Boy's expamples)? Also, I've seen this type of thing before in Template:Steven Spielberg; the template says "Steven Spielberg filmography" , and lists the entire filmography, while there is still a link to the filmography in the template. -- 68.76.157.172 1:55, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

• The difference is this: Steven Spielberg is a filmmaker. One would expect his films to be included. However, if someone were to write a book about him it would not be included. That is the issue. These film adaptations are not the works of Stephen King. They are the work of their respective directors. The only films that need to be on this template are the ones King wrote the screenplays for. Furthermore, there are hundreds of film adaptations of King and there is simply not room. Look at the templates for William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens. Do you see film adaptations? No. Who cares if the people responsible for the Roald Dahl and Dr. Seuss templates got it wrong? Does that mean that we should also?

Recently I added a new category called musical collaborations to the template and within it I put Black Ribbons. This change was reverted by User: Jmj713 who also deleted the category stage plays featuring Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. He moved both to the Related Articles category. I can certainly understand his reasoning and I agree the the template is already too large. However, I think related articles should be saved for articles about King himself, fictional places he has invented, and works like The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red which he did not directly contribute too. However, these two works were directly contributed to by King himself.

Looking at the article, it seems that Ghost Brothers of Darkland County will be released first as a disc with King's dialouge and Mellencamp's songs before it is staged and that the disc will not be a cast recording. So why don't we do this: instead of having two categories called "Stage Plays" and "Musical Collaborations", we have just one featuring both Black Ribbons and Ghost Brothers. Discuss please.

Obviously the eight novels in the Dark Tower series are listed as a separate group, but are there any Wikipedia guidelines stating when others should be listed that way as well? For example, I believe it would be too much to list The Shining and Doctor Sleep series separately, especially since we are unlikely to ever see another book in the series. But what of the ongoing Bill Hodges series, the third book of which was recently announced? Or the series comprising The Talisman and Black House? Both King and Peter Straub have mentioned within the past year that they are working on a third volume, so it's likely that we'll see it at some point. I'm not suggesting giving either of these series their own group as of right now, but at what point should it be done or should it be done at all?

I don't think it's really necessary, especially for two or three books.

Thoughts on adding the Bill Hodges series now it now that it's grown to now include a spin-off (The Outsider) and a short story as well (If It Bleeds)? Or should it be more along the lines of say a group of books that has a separate page of their own?

I've added Hearts in Suspension back to the non-fiction section and kept Charlie the Choo-Choo in related articles for now.

It's true that Hearts in Suspension isn't entirely a King work, but his name is in large print on the cover, as is a photo of him. It includes five previously uncollected non-fiction pieces by King and a novella that comes to 198 pages in my paperback edition of Hearts in Atlantis. According to the publisher the book will be 373 pages long. So I think it's fair to predict that King is the primary contributor to the book, although I'm fine with adding "(with others)" or something along those lines. It's certainly as much a King book as "Guns", in my opinion.

As for Charlie the Choo-Choo, I'm fine with keeping it in related articles for now and I agree that it isn't a novel. But it was definitely written by King and I'm not sure where it best fits. It ties into The Dark Tower, but I don't think it belongs in that section. Perhaps it can be combined with the Bachman novels and we can rename the section "pseudonymous works" or something?

The problem with "Suspension" is categorization. Its bulk is a reprint of a fictional work, so in of itself it wouldn't be notable enough for the template. It does feature some minor non-fiction works, as well as numerous contributions by others, so I feel like Related is the best place for it.

That makes sense. Keep it in related for now and I guess we'll see going forward how it's ultimately categorized by professional reviewers and by King. I predict that we may see the new essay in a future short story collection or in future printings of Hearts in Atlantis, which would make the four newspaper columns he wrote in college the only unique features of the book as far as his works are concerned.

Some fan added just about every comic connected to King to the list. These comics were NOT written by King, but adapted after his works:

• The Secretary of Dreams (2006)
• The Dark Tower (2007–)
• The Stand (2008–12)
• The Talisman (2009–10)
• N. (2010)
• Road Rage (2012)
• The Dark Man (2013)

They belong to the adaptations-list. So far the list of Kings works only contains works written completely or partially by himself, not written by others after King. If no one complains, I will delete them in some days. 178.24.154.192 (talk) 15:16, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-10-21T15:16:00.000Z","author":"178.24.154.192","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-178.24.154.192-2017-10-21T15:16:00.000Z-Comics","replies":["c-CyberGhostface-2017-11-07T19:20:00.000Z-178.24.154.192-2017-10-21T15:16:00.000Z"]}}-->

The novel The Institute was added to the template. There is no article on this novel, nor is it discussed on King's bio page. Per WP:CRYSTAL, this needs to be sourced somewhere. Until an article is written, there needs to be a sourced statement in King's bio or in Stephen King bibliography. 75.191.40.148 (talk) 19:41, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-08-27T19:41:00.000Z","author":"75.191.40.148","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-75.191.40.148-2019-08-27T19:41:00.000Z-The_Institute","replies":[]}}-->
