[edit]

The article and the sources therefor need expansion. The subject's early years are not addressed. There is no reference for the subject's alleged first marriage. The link to the Granville Hicks reference leads only to a snippet pay-per-view on the NY Times site, and fails to provide any evidence for a "full page review". The link to the so-called "rave" reviews leads only to a personal blogsite. There is no evidence that the subject's novels were translated into "many languages". Moreover, the article nowhere addresses Rofheart's plagiarism of A.M. Maugham, John Cowper Powys, and Harold F. Hutchinson (in the first novel), and Thomas B. Costain and John E. Lloyd in the second novel. LLThom (talk) 23:53, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can look up that copy of the NYT in large enough libraries; the web page linked to isn't the real source but just provided for the reader's convenience. I've reworded our coverage of that review and some other parts of the article to cut back on the hype. To cover the plagiarism we'd need reliable sources. Huon (talk) 00:29, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
