Publications

For some reason there is an edit conflict about an edit that includes mention of a book.^[1][2] The other editor expressed a concern that this is starting to veering toward promotional territory. WP:PROMO.^[3] A non-promotional listing of the book in a "publications" section is how other articles handle this issue. So I have implemented that. Any reviews of the book by reliable published sources would go in a different section. User generated reviews (like on Amazon) or promotion blurbs by booksellers are not considered reliable under Wikipedia rules. -- Toddy1 (talk) 11:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that its inclusion in the body of the article would be promotional. There is no reliable source that has mentioned the publication of this book as a noteworthy event in relation to Ali Sina. It is a self-published work and has not received any attention from secondary sources. As to its inclusion in a "publications" section, I can't find any guidance on Wikipedia regarding that.
