Talk:God Loves Hair

2010 or 2014 publication date
i've written the article based on the 2014 edition as that is the one that all/most of the reviews are based, info on 2010 self publish is included as a note in the infobox, we could also have a publication history (see next section) Coolabahapple (talk) 18:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

lots more to do with this article
there is a lot of info out in netland on this book that can be included in the article:
 * - publication history ie. self published in 2010;
 * - publication development, there are some interviews with Shraya about this book, also that she identified as male and queer when she first published it;
 * - awards including 23rd Lambda nominee, 2015 South Asia Book Award nominee, 2015 USBBY Outstanding International Book - and heres a cool google map version of the 2015 books:), 2015 South Asia Book Award Honor
 * also more reviews, i have only included the "easy ones", others may just be "snips" though.

if anyone wants to add stuff from above list (or other info i have missed:)) you are more than welcome. Coolabahapple (talk) 19:04, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
 * and of course a contents/plot section, duuhhhh Coolabahapple (talk) 19:09, 27 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I've tagged the intro because it's far too short, and a more detailed plot summary needs to be included. The subject should be covered beyond just praises and awards. Unfortunately notability is an issue, as third-party sources are seriously lacking; searches turn up mostly niche gay-lifestyle blogs and generic book websites. sixty nine   • speak up •  00:35, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * if you've read it, great, increase the lead and add a plot:), as for "notability is an issue, as third-party sources are seriously lacking" here is WP:NBOOK:
 * "1.The book has been the subject[1] of two or more non-trivial[2] published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself.[3] This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists,[4] and reviews(my emphasis)). This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy,..", this book meets this requirement with the 8 reviews in the article. Coolabahapple (talk) 07:36, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
