Article problems

The main problem with this article seems to be it does not talk about Voeten's book, but about the tunnel people in general. There are already article about the tunnel people, at Freedom Tunnel and Mole people.

Of the sources in this article, most pre-date Voeten's book by many years and do not talk about his book. The Volkskrant] review seems the best source (I'm presuming it is a reliable news publication). The molossus website] does not seem to be a reliable site with editorial oversight. NRC Handelsblad seems to be a book website links to an online book sales company.

Either way, if Voeten's recently published book was widely reviewed there would be some evidence online. There's not enough here to prove it is notable at the moment.

Maybe there is a good argument to create a Wikipedia article specifically about the New York tunnel dwellers, or merging some of this information with Freedom Tunnel? Sionk (talk) 11:56, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
