Comment: "Life" section is very sparsely cited ... Bobby Cohn (talk) 16:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The use of citations in the published works to the works themselves is adding to the WP:CITEOVERKILL concerns as mentioned earlier. Please format the list, using only the most notable 4 or 5, using citation templates without the references, as demonstrated by this change: Special:Diff/1263959173. If you want to show reviews of the works, as a way of demonstrating notability (see WP:NAUTHOR), then cite to those reviews in a different section and summarise them. See for example Stephen King § Bibliography vs. § Reception and influence. See also WP:REFB for more information. Bobby Cohn (talk) 16:17, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Are there sources that discuss his books, like professional reviews of them? That's the kind of sources we're looking for here. asilvering (talk) 15:05, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: needs independent sources not his own works Theroadislong (talk) 13:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
