Autobiography (Morrissey)

[edit]

Created by FormerIP (talk). Self nominated at 14:10, 23 October 2013 (UTC).

The hook claim is well cited, but can we have a citation for the claim that he's the first living author to be published as a PC? Gamaliel (talk) 22:10, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
This doesn't appear to be correct since I have found one other. So I've removed that claim. Formerip (talk) 13:40, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
Good to go. Gamaliel (talk) 01:25, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment. I moved it to Autobiography (book). As long as there aren't other books with the same title, it is not necessary to use a precise DAB. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 04:42, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
World Cat shows pages and pages of books called "Autobiography", including significant names like Charles Darwin, JS Mill, CK Chesterton, Upton Sinclair and AA Milne. I don't think its a massive deal but, Penguin Classic or no, I'm not sure Morrissey's stands out as obviously the main one. I don't see it as a big deal, but think it should be moved back.

I agree that it should not be "Autobiography (book)". But I also think it shouldn't be moved back to the old title of "Autobiography (book by Morrissey)". I would prefer either simply "Autobiography (Morrissey)" or "Autobiography (Morrissey book)". MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 01:42, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
If there are "significant names like Charles Darwin, JS Mill, CK Chesterton, Upton Sinclair and AA Milne" with books that share the name why a) the dont have articles, and b) Autobiography (book) still redirecting there? © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 18:26, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
