Question regarding sources
[edit]While I'm confident that the information in the article is correct (it agrees with biographical information I've read in the author's published books, only one of which I have at hand), I understand the need to beef up the sourcing. The nature of the online sources is not ideal, but they're all I'm able to access. The most extensive biographical details are from the author on his Amazon page - is this acceptable to cite as a source and to warrant preservation of the article? I've found that:
- inline citations may be allowed to e-commerce pages such as that of a book on a bookseller's page or an album on its streaming-music page, in order to verify such things as titles and running times. Journalistic and academic sources are preferable, however, and e-commerce links should be replaced with non-commercial reliable sources if available.
