Notable book per WP:NBOOK Criteria (1) and (5) edit

Notable book. Per WP:NBOOK Criteria number one (1) and (5).

(1). The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. Namely, Georgetown Security Studies Review, and media reports about U.S. Congressional legislation directly motivated by the report.

(5). The book's author is so historically significant that any of the author's written works may be considered notable. Namely, the United States House Committee on Homeland Security.

Primary sources edit

Why are we removing tags without explanation? Am I mistaken that the article relies too heavily on primary sources? R2 (bleep) 17:57, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

I checked but saw no explanation for the tag, here on the talk page. Sagecandor (talk) 19:49, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Isn't it self-explanatory? Almost all of the sources are appear to be primary sources or opinion sources. Surely there's been news coverage of the report that this article can be drawn from? R2 (bleep) 20:39, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
If you would like to help with any further research, that'd be most appreciated. Sagecandor (talk) 23:59, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
The user has notified Wikipedia editors by discussion here on this talk page. There is no need to maintain the tag on the article forever for the rest of our lifetimes. The tag will be removed absent any suggestions from the original poster about what sources they would like to add to the article. Sagecandor (talk) 16:59, 26 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
The tag should remain until the problem is fixed, or until there's consensus that there is no problem. R2 (bleep) 08:17, 2 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Most of the entire article already relies upon secondary sources. These include: Georgetown Security Studies Review, Brookings Institution, Fox News, Time (magazine), The Hill (newspaper), Vanity Fair (magazine), San Francisco Chronicle, The Philadelphia Tribune, and Newsday.

Those are used as opinion sources. They're fine, but the factual parts of the article should be based mostly on secondary sources, not primary ones. R2 (bleep) 08:19, 2 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
