Comment: If you resubmit one more time without addressing the issues left by previous reviewers, expect this draft to be permanently rejected from ever becoming an article. Mach61 00:14, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Also note that the citations must be formatted correctly. "Page title or description" is not a valid title for a citation. bonadea contributions talk 07:53, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: There is not a single reliable, independent, and secondary source in the draft. All references to google, goodreads, and sales websites such as amazon and abebooks must be removed. His own website can be used very sparingly (not as much as it is currently used in the draft) for uncontroversial claims. All information that cannot be sourced must be removed.The writing style is very promotional. bonadea contributions talk 07:47, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Article should rely less on subject's own website. Please find attached least four good, independent secondary sources to establish notability. Lewisguile (talk) 13:15, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
