Latest comment: 7 years ago by Coolabahapple in topic lots more to do with this article

2010 or 2014 publication date

edit

i've written the article based on the 2014 edition as that is the one that all/most of the reviews are based, info on 2010 self publish is included as a note in the infobox, we could also have a publication history (see next section) Coolabahapple (talk) 18:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

lots more to do with this article

edit

there is a lot of info out in netland on this book that can be included in the article:

- publication history ie. self published in 2010;
- publication development, there are some interviews with Shraya about this book, also that she identified as male and queer when she first published it;
- awards including 23rd Lambda nominee, 2015 South Asia Book Award nominee, 2015 USBBY Outstanding International Book - and heres a cool google map version of the 2015 books:), 2015 South Asia Book Award Honor
also more reviews, i have only included the "easy ones", others may just be "snips" though.

if anyone wants to add stuff from above list (or other info i have missed:)) you are more than welcome. Coolabahapple (talk) 19:04, 27 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

and of course a contents/plot section, duuhhhh  Coolabahapple (talk) 19:09, 27 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
I've tagged the intro because it's far too short, and a more detailed plot summary needs to be included. The subject should be covered beyond just praises and awards. Unfortunately notability is an issue, as third-party sources are seriously lacking; searches turn up mostly niche gay-lifestyle blogs and generic book websites. sixtynine • speak up • 00:35, 2 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
if you've read it, great, increase the lead and add a plot:), as for "notability is an issue, as third-party sources are seriously lacking" here is WP:NBOOK:
"1.The book has been the subject[1] of two or more non-trivial[2] published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself.[3] This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists,[4] and reviews(my emphasis)). This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy,..", this book meets this requirement with the 8 reviews in the article. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:36, 2 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
