Secondary sources
editCan someone please explain how to provide secondary sources for this work of fiction? As far as I can see, the contents of the book are a product of the author's imagination and unless he is guilty of plagiarism, there can be no secondary source to cite.

editThe Lord of the Rings has many books written by many authors of repute that expanded the world that J.R.R. Tolkien created. This would be a secondary source for that series. Unfortunately, there is no rich secondary resource that exists for The Thomas Covenant series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.88.117 (talk) 18:14, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- I fail to understand why secondary or tertiary sources are needed, if the article is based on primary sources. In academic scholarship primary sources are generally considered superior and preferably to secondary sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 23:52, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
