Talk:B. R. Rees

Notability
I have removed the notability tag as Brinley Rees is listed in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography, and was principal of St David's College, Lampeter, now University of Wales TSD.TSventon (talk) 12:08, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Citation overkill
, I disagree with your recent revert of my edits. In addition to reverting unrelated edits, you objected to my edit with the summary: Your edit summary on reverting was: Please read Citation overkill. You shouldn't add sources as ammunition against deletion nominations, and in this case notability is well-established by the other sources. Sources to help future editors should be given on the talk page, or in an 'External links' or 'Further reading' section, which could include a list of reviews of Rees' works. Your comments please.

 * remove redundant refs, we don't need 5 sources to confirm the existence and authorship of one book, and the ISBN alone would probably be sufficient
 * Book reviews demonstrate notability and help future editor expand the article with reception


 * Citation overkill is an essay.
 * I agree that redundant refs can reduce readability when they are in running prose, but that's not an issue here.
 * All articles should cite sufficient sources to show the topic is notable, otherwise an editor might think it's not and waste time looking for the sources that you insisted on deleting. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  00:33, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
