- I have some issues with this article that I think should be addressed before moving forward with a good article nomination. I read through this article, the main article on Marlon Bundo and the article on the parody A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo. This article fails right now on neutral. To make it more neutral, the focus of this article should be the book itself, with the parody moving down in the structure. For example, in the reception area--the book's performance and critical reception come first. The parody (which was published later) should be further down. I also found a lot more about the conception about the book in the citations that should be in the article--take a look at the Chicago Tribune article for more information about the book's conception and publication so that should be expanded. There are good guidelines for structure for books under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Novels. There also seems to be some back and forth on the talk page that lead me to believe this also fails on "stable." Auldhouse (talk) 17:38, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- I've gone through summarizing the concept of the book while writing the Charlotte Pence article, and I didn't find much information significant. I did summarize the Denver Post interview:
- Pence and her mother thought about creating a children's book, following Bundo's popularity on Instagram and because Karen is a watercolor painter. Pence told The Denver Post that she "really [likes] children's literature and middle-grade fiction" and had "always wanted to be a writer".
- There might be more information about the publishing process; I will look into it. I think that all issues brought up on the talk page have been resolved. Thanks for the suggestion about reorganizing information about the parody book. wumbolo ^^^ 19:51, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Comment. @Auldhouse: you changed "lukewarm reviews" to "lukewarm". According to merriam-webster.com, "lukewarm" is an adjective, and "lukewarmness" is the noun. wumbolo ^^^ 20:14, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Already done wumbolo ^^^ 21:06, 3 October 2018 (UTC) Yes, thank you. That was an error on my part. Auldhouse (talk) 17:38, 4 October 2018 (UTC)- @Auldhouse: Thanks for taking the time to review this and Wumbolo for jumping in to make changes while I was away. I'm happy to add information from the Tribune article but am not sure if these concerns have been addressed yet. What I see in that source about the conception is: Instagram, collaboration between Karen and Charlotte Pence, and educational role of the VP. It feels like these three points are in there already. What were you hoping to see addressed? Truly happy to add just not sure what you're seeing as missing. As for the stable it had not been edited from August 27 until your review. I don't see any current discussion on the talk page either. I would suggest it's stable. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:15, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for the response. I'm going to start back and go through the areas as I have some suggestions for you. Give me a few days to complete. Auldhouse (talk) 17:03, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for your time and I look forward to your suggestions. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:24, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
- @Auldhouse: Any update? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:48, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
