Contradictory article

Where All Light Tends To Go (Putnam, 2015) can't very well be David Joy’s first novel if he wrote The Line That Held Us in 2011, as stated subsequently in the article. It is additionally strange, but his Edgar Award nomination for that 2015 book is in the category "Best First Novel", for which it shouldn't have qualified, given the existence of the previous novel. In any event, it isn't clear that the book itself is notable, nor that the author is, even since the time the 2012 article on him was deleted. Largoplazo (talk) 16:30, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requiest to move

I request the article to be moved to David Joy (poet) because its surname is not capitalized. In addition, its respective dab needs a link 86.22.8.235 (talk) 16:32, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
