Talk:Lawrence Sanders

Why so little information about this author?
As prolific as Mr. Sanders was, his page is woefully brief. Anyone have any explanation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.204.72 (talk) 06:58, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

It would appear that the IMP plot-device from "The Tomorrow File" is now a real thing: http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/09/22/441841735/wherever-you-go-your-personal-cloud-of-microbes-follows

What is the norm for creating sub-pages for authors?
I recently completed adding book summmaries to Lawrence Sanders' Archy McNally series of stories. I had originally assumed each book would have its own page, but my attempt to create a McNally's Secret page was shot down. Instead, I added book summaries under the Archy McNally page. Is there a norm here? I see other authors--Mickey Spillane, for example--warrant individual pages for each book, so I puzzled why Mr. Sanders' book don't get the same treatment.

 * I'm actually okay with creating pages for fictional characters. It seems neater to group them that way, but there is an odd discrepancy as to why some books have pages and others do not. Dennisraymeier (talk) 15:14, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * A cursory check of other mystery/detective writers indicates that having separate Wikipedia pages for books is sporadic:
 * Block, Lawrence. Matthew Scudder series. 2/20 books have a separate Wikipedia page.
 * Burke, James Lee. Dave Robicheaux series. 5/23 books have a separate Wikipedia page.
 * Connelly, Michael. Bosch series. 19/20 books have a separate Wikipedia page.
 * Hillerman, Tony. Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee series. All 18 books written by Tony have separate Wikipedia pages. (Only 1/8 of the books written by daughter Anne Hillerman have a separate page.)
 * Parker, Robert B. Spenser series. 39/40 books have a separate Wikipedia page.
 * I'm good with summarizing Mr. Sanders' books in a tabular summary by series, but it would be nice to have some guidance as to when a book warrants its own page. Dennisraymeier (talk) 22:19, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
