Separate book from "The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction" by Nicholls & Clute.[edit]

I created this page for this book which is a completely distinct book from the Nicholls & Clute book of nearly the same title. I think a book that has contributions from such notable figures as Asimov, Holdstock, Harrison, Moore, among others, should have its own page.

I will add to it if I can, but sources for the book, largely because of the similarity to the title of the better known publication that still exists on the internet authoritative sources are hard to come by. Duckwalk71 (talk) 03:38, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've now adjusted the relevant wikilinks that came to the redirect page - they now go to the correct page for The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction by Clute and Nicholls.Duckwalk71 (talk) 04:53, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is not just about the links, there is no indication that this book passes notability criteria. If it can be shown to pass notability, Lithopsian is correct and a new page should be created called something like Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1978 book), and then this page turned into a disambiguation page.

Really? So after I have updated pretty much every page that linked to the redirect (bar a few automatically generate log pages) "Please address the links" gets turned into "Well... it's not just the links", but now apparently professional published book, that went through more than one edition, has a ISBN number, is edited by Robert Holdstock, with an introduction by Asimov and contributions from among others Christopher Priest, Harry Harrison, and Brian Stableford, is "non notable"! However your solution seems reasonable, though I imagine another reason will come up to change it back. Certain people here seem determined to memory hole this book.Duckwalk71 (talk) 13:00, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK so as suggested I have created a new page for the '78 book and changed this redirect to a disambiguation page and even included the Brian Ash edited book for thoroughness. I hope that is to everyone's satisfaction.Duckwalk71 (talk) 13:46, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
