I believe Jose Barriero may have misused the term Novel. Though novel means a tale or series of events as a ficticious story, Jose Barriero explains that this was the true story of the Taino Indian, Guaiken, who came in contact with Columbus at the age of 12. There maybe some controversy on this once I submit it but if I can't find a relatable and more source with a different tittle then it will be the source title "Taino: A Novel."

 * That is not how it works here. If you can not find a better source than a novel, then the information will not be accepted.  He  iro  22:07, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Well we'll see how wikipedia confirms the source. Californianscholar 3:13pm, 7 August 2020 (PT) Californianscholar (talk) 22:14, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

But thank you for the tips on what to do. (Californianscholar (talk) 22:17, 7 August 2020 (UTC))

If you are interested then maybe you can help me out on putting Guaikens story out. Im not too much in a rush to start the Article yet but I do want to publish and edit this as soon as possible. So hopefully the sources I provide are genuine.(Californianscholar (talk) 22:51, 7 August 2020 (UTC))
 * You can start a new section at the article talkpage Talk:Taíno, listing your citations and asking other editors to weigh in on their validity as reliable sources. Plenty of editors watch that article and it's talkpage, as it is a frequent target for the addition of uncited material. One of them may be interested in pursuing it.

Taino: A Novel moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Taino: A Novel, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
