No reliable secondary independent articles about the book. The two reviews in the article are on user-generated sites so do not meet the reliability standard. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 03:37, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

- Keep Although published in Linguist list, this review by Kimary Shahin (Birzeit University/University of British Columbia) and this review by Stefan Frisch (University of Michigan) are both reliable (edited by Andrew Carnie). The book has 285 citations on Google Scholar. Ali Pirhayati (talk) 01:59, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

- rsjaffe As I said the reviews are different as the reliability of the text and the author and the editor is evident. Ali Pirhayati (talk) 01:26, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Per WP:EXPERTSPS, self-published sources like the two Linguist List reviews
may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications.
That criterion is clearly met here: see work by Kimary Shahin and Stefan A Frisch respectively. (It doesn't make a difference, but I can't work out quite whether the reviews actually are WP:SPSes at all: if our article on the subject is right that anyone and everyone can submit posts to the list, why do both sources have the header naming an "Editor for this issue"?) – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:45, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
