Is this SYNTHESIS (original research)?[edit]

The "Inspiration and impersonation" section currently begins:

"He [Ukridge] appears to be based on an acquaintance of Wodehouse's friend of school days, William Townend. Both Love Among the Chickens and the Ukridge collection are dedicated to Townend, and in the Love Among the Chickens dedication, Wodehouse mentions a letter he received from Townend describing an acquaintance who, like Ukridge, starts a chicken farm in the West country."

Is the synthesis, and therefore original research? The writer seems to be making an inference from the dedication and letter, to the conclusion that Townend was the inspiration for the character Ukridge.

OR or not OR? Please advise. HandsomeMrToad (talk) 05:52, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
