'From'?[edit]
Bibliography: How are these stories classified as 'from' original Holmes stories by Conan Doyle? Valetude (talk) 23:52, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
- Valetude - I guess that they mean "from a mention in" - see the article on the book. But is that needed here ? -- Beardo (talk) 12:57, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't know whether anything can or should be used here. --P64 (talk) 21:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Surname[edit]
- second of two new sections in one session -P64
We call him Adrian Doyle here, Conan Doyle there, Doyle elsewhere, and instruct to sort by 'Conandoyle'. Libraries make Doyle the surname.[1]
In the father's biography we provide some discussion Arthur Conan Doyle#Name with the weight of evidence or practice heavily on the 'Doyle' side, and we use 'Doyle' in running prose. But again we instruct to sort by 'Conandoyle'. Libraries make Doyle the surname.[2]
The Sir ACD Literary Estate official website[ uses 'Conan Doyle' on the homepage, where it does not use 'Doyle' alone.[3] The NYT obituary headline writer uses 'Conan Doyle' but the text uses 'Lady Doyle'.[4]

Discovery of unpublished Holmes story[edit]
This section seems excessively long for this article - if needed here at all.
Some of the information is in Canon_of_Sherlock_Holmes#"The_Case_of_the_Man_Who_Was_Wanted"_(c._1914) - I will copy some more detail from here. But do we need anything here ? -- Beardo (talk) 12:46, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
The Holmes stories[edit]
The article says taht at least six were solely by Adrian, but only one is noted. If it is sure, the others should be mentioned. -- Beardo (talk) 13:04, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- The book's own Wikipedia article explains that the authorship is disputed as regards the relative contributions of Carr, Doyle or both. Still, the list as given here was definitely wrong. The "Doyle solely" comment was no doubt supposed to refer to the last six stories rather than just one story. I've used the book's own "Contents" page to group these accordingly.
