The Nine Unknown additions edit
Instead of edit-warring over seemingly promotional additions to the article, please discuss the issue at Talk:The Nine Unknown with accompanying (secondary and independent) sources. Abecedare (talk) 04:44, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Please help me with referencing. These are two books that I have read myself and have sourced from Goodreads to be genuine books related to The Nine Unknown. My objective isn't to promote but to simply inform.William.broyles (talk) 04:47, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding! The issue is not that we doubt that these are genuine books. It's whether they are worth includinging in The Nine Unknown article. In order to do so, we will need secondary independent sources that talk about the books and their links to the article subject.
- One of the books you included is self-published, and it is unlikely that it will be worth discussing on wikipedia. The other one is a more borderline case, since Penguin Metro Reads is the "non-prestige/less-selective" imprint of an established publisher. If you can find mainstream reviews (ie in genuine newspapers and magazine, not random websites) of the book we can look at the issue again. Hope that helps. Abecedare (talk) 05:00, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
