nnonnotable author whose debut book made a bit of blip. Notabilityu claim is WP:SINGLEEVENT; notability should be WP:NOTINHERITED. All references are book reviews, and the author is mentioned in passing, with minimal detail, mostly related to the book and its writing. Staszek Lem (talk) 12:31, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • If we have a good article already why bother? Gleeanon 08:19, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • When working up the piece, I avoided politics, but the establishment in Poland of LGBT-free zones and pres Duda's comment that “LGBT ideology” is “more harmful than Communism” both give the writer and the book additional relevance in the way, for example, that “To Kill a Mockingbird” (another one-book author until the year of her death) would not have been as widely read had it not reflected the Civil Rights movement in the Deep South in the ‘50s and ‘60s.

  • That’s reasonable context to add but to avoid coatracking and synthesis you have to use sources that cite him in relation to that content. Otherwise leave it out. Gleeanon 14:44, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Vice's article is mostly about the political context of Jedrowski's writing the novel just now. (The idea wasn't mine.) My intention was to keep the article narrowly focused on the world of letters. But if the suggestion is that the article as-is doesn't have enough relevance, a sentence about the novel's past and contemporary political dimension citing the Vice article might resolve the relevance objection, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nigetastic (talk • contribs) 15:31, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • My impression is that the article is likely safe. I would go ahead and add relevant context as it serves the reader understand the subject. Gleeanon 15:38, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've added an additional paragraph, something brisk that puts the author's work into some wider cultural and political context. I hewed closely to the three citations (Vice, WaPo, the Economist, no LBGT specialty periodicals) that I used. As always, I'm flexible about the wording. With hope this illuminates why the author and this debut novel got an unusual amount of attention and settles any qualms about the novelist's relevance.Nigetastic (talk) 16:32, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
