Julian Moynahan
- ... that a reviewer wrote of Julian Moynahan that he was "disguised as an English professor at Rutgers", but really "a nonstop Irish-American storyteller"?

Overall:
DYK requires every section to be referenced, so the sections Literary criticism and Novels need references. SL93 (talk) 15:39, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review, SL93, but those are just lists of books, so your point seems mistaken. As Vanamonde93 said when someone tried to run this argument once before, “The fundamental rule for DYK is that it needs to be policy-compliant; in this case, compliant with WP:V. Books are acceptable sources for the content within them, and are therefore acceptable sources for their existence, when they have complete publication information. Secondary sources would be ideal for determining whether the works should be listed at all; but that's more of a due weight determination that is outside the scope of a DYK review.” So each title, with publisher and date, cites itself.
