Talk:The God Who Riots

Notability
The notability of this book is borderline right now, but if I don't come across any more sources I think it's enough to pass anyway. The reviews in Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and Sojourners are all greater than 100 words and as far as I can tell each of the sources are reliable. I'll keep looking and hopefully new reviews will be published soon. TipsyElephant (talk) 20:18, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Marked this as reviewed, but are Foreword Reviews and Sojourners RS? See here. VickKiang 03:57, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, thank you for your concern. Considering your uncertainty regarding the reliability of some of the sources I've provided my analysis of the four sources I think best demonstrate the notability of this book. I know you only questioned the reliability of Foreword Reviews and Sojourners, but I figured it'd help to have all four analyzed next to each other for greater context. I haven't provided secondary sources yet to establish what other publications think of these websites, but I might open a more thorough discussion at RSN with secondary sources at a later date. These are my initial thoughts on the sources in question and I may alter the table as time goes on. Is there anything in particular about Foreword Reviews and Sojourners that you are concerned about?

 * Thanks for your detailed replies- impressive! I knew that Publishers Weekly and Library Journal are RS, as they have editorial policies and WP articles. Sojourners looks fine to me now, the editorial policies for Foreward Reviews is slightly less clear, but given the thorough links you provided showing about us, contact us, and submission guidelines (I doubt its submission guidelines as they seem colloquial and less detailed compared to Publishers Weekly, such as Oh, and you not only want to reach an audience of readers, but also reach the influencers, connectors, mavens, and the salespeople who can quickly get your book in the right hands. We hear you), but the problems seems minor and IMO this website is probably just above marginally reliable, and fine in this context (if I encounter this ref again at another article, I might ask at RSN), so many thanks for your work and detailed response!

 * You're very welcome! Your concern regarding Foreword Reviews make sense. I'd never heard of the source prior to writing this article and had to double check it before citing it because I initially thought it might be user generated. I also just discovered a review from Booklist so I think notability has been pretty well established at this point. TipsyElephant (talk) 22:43, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I opened RSN discussions for Foreword Reviews and Sojourners: here and here. Both discussions seemed to have positive views of the sources' reliability. TipsyElephant (talk) 17:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
