text about the book, critical reception?[edit]

Will anyone who has read the book write a summary of it, and gather up the reviews of the novel? Waiting for the movie, not much of an article! --Prairieplant (talk) 00:10, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the synopsis of the book. Now all that is needed is critical reception. More than being a best selling book, what have reviewers said of the book? --Prairieplant (talk) 07:56, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted section on WWII and the section on Louis Zamperini[edit]

I deleted the section on WWII. This article covers the book by Hillenbrand. Link to a Wikipedia article on the war if you must. This article should be about the book. The additions to the synopsis are much appreciated. --Prairieplant (talk) 07:50, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is an entire article on Louis Zamperini. If anything is missing from that article, but included in the added text, move it to that article. Keep the focus on the book, what is in it. --Prairieplant (talk) 07:52, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved. (non-admin closure) ❯❯❯ Raydann ^(Talk) 16:38, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unbroken (Zamperini biography) → Unbroken (book) – The current title of the article is too precise. There are no other topics that need distinguishing from to warrant this more detailed title. Use only as much additional detail as necessary. Οἶδα (talk) 21:25, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Article was previously at Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption and moved without discussion in 2021. 162 etc. (talk) 23:23, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The move rationale was "Article title is long, making it difficult to find quickly". Natural disambiguation–in this case the book's subtitle–is typically preferred. But is an article title that is 11 words and 70 characters long concise enough? WP:SUBTITLE mentions verbose subtitles, in which a more concise WP:COMMONNAME is often considered the more optimal title. Would the commonly recognizable title of Unbroken followed by the parenthetical (book) not be more optimal? Οἶδα (talk) 19:11, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support: None of the independent cited sources that I checked include the subtitle at all, and the subtitle is very deemphasized on the cover art (very small italic font on a separate line versus all-caps straight, strong and big for the main word), and this seems to be the only book discussed on Wikipedia that is entitled Unbroken. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:23, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support: We should change it to Unbroken (book), but if another book eventually comes along, it should just go to Unbroken (2010 book), which is how most topics are handled. --rogerd (talk) 02:38, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Article topic is the only book titled "Unbroken" to have a Wikipedia article. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 15:48, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
