Need for Citations/Sources

[edit]

I think the article could do with a few more citations to reliable sources. The following may help. (Msrasnw (talk) 15:20, 23 April 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Some possibly useful refs to help with the article

[edit]
  • Birzer, Brad (2007) “Stephen Lawhead and the Conundrum of Celtic Catholicism,” St. Austin Review (March-April): 9-12
  • Doherty, J. J. (1999). 'A land shining with goodness': Magic and Religion in Stephen R. Lawhead's "Taliesin, Merlin, and Arthur". Arthuriana. 9, 57-66.

Restore List of Works?

[edit]

Is is acceptable to restore the list of works to this article or perhaps create a stub that contains the list? I found the list helpful and it seems to be removed because of a dispute over the biographical content. Can we separate that debate from the list of Stephens bibliographical list of writing? There was a useful list referenced as recently as 24 April 2015. Some sources to validate his authorship might include Stephen's website or Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB). --CitizenUnderdog (talk) 15:24, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to say no. While a few selected books may be included, Wikipedia should not be a long list of past works. Mdann52 (talk) 12:08, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is that opinion or policy? I've certainly seen plenty of articles with comprehensive bibliographies. I'd be interested to know what Wikipedia's policy is in this regard Natebailey (talk) 01:37, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to be opinion. I also am not aware of such a policy, and it was only removed a couple of months ago, started by Mdann52 (who is also the one who flagged the article for deletion for some reason), and it was removed sloppily, since a relevant and easily citeable fact was also removed concerning his honorary doctorate (which I have just re-added). There seem to be 2 edit wars going on with IPs from the UK--one over the list of works, and one over the statement about Lawhead's daughter-in-law (which seems easily citeable, but I agree isn't really relevant to the article).
