:I think all your points are valid. This subpage would only be used for articles about people, I assume. There would be no need to use it for article not about persons.  This is the reason most subpages are optional.

We would like a historian, literary scholar, philosopher, or other humanist to help fill out this page. It should describe our policies with regard to lists of written works (books, poems, written music, etc.).

What are Works pages?

I think they should list the works OF the person in the article, assuming the article is about a person. Works ABOUT the person should, IMHO, be in the Bibliography pages.

I can't think what function a Works page would have in articles not about persons. What would be the "works" of Encyclopaedia Britannica? Or Mathematics? Or Onslow Beach?
