The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Adequate sourcing: - I think there's some unsourced analysis in the section covering the characters. See
WP:OR–Try to pull analysis from secondary sources, instead of interpreting the book on your own.
Comment: (pinging participants:
Theleekycauldron and
Madeleinerberry) as a regular from
WP:YA, the sourcing seems fine, since plot and characters section usually only ask for sourcing for direct quotes and contentious material. I edited the reception section to remove an unsourced affirmation, and the third paragraph is also potentially unsourced, so I'd recommend ditching it. Aside from that, no big worries about
WP:RS. Hope this helps.
