Comment: Amazon and Wix are also not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 06:30, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: The draft does indeed contain a Blogspot source namely... [1] Theroadislong (talk) 06:23, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Blogspot and assorted interviews are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 19:05, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Other than her birth date, all the sources are book reviews, which do not show that she herself is notable. Where is the other information from? (That is not a rhetorical question). -- NotCharizard 🗨 09:34, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback. I would like to clarify that the draft does not cite any Blogspot sources. You probably mean the interview that is on the *Litoskop* website, a literary magazine [www.litoskop.ru via archive.org] published by the Russian publishing house *Steklograf*. The interview is available at: Interview with Mila Born on Litoskop.
- While the site is currently hosted on Wix due to financial constraints caused by sanctions, *Steklograf* continues to publish over 50 books annually [https://www.steklograf.com Books list via archive.org]. Its publications and history are partially archived on Archive.org, although the specific interview is not yet archived.
- I understand the concern regarding source reliability. If this link is considered confusing or insufficiently reliable, I am happy to remove it. However, I believe it adds valuable context for readers interested in the subject’s literary background.
- Please let me know how best to proceed. — Gernundvielleser (talk) 21:42, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
