Two books by the same name

There are two books that are named Colony (the other one is by Ben Bova), so I think that this page should be moved to Colony (book by Rob Grant), in the same style as the two books that are named City and then the redirect from Colony (book) be deleted once the page for Colony (book by Ben Bova) is created.

I took the spirit of what you suggested. The standard is to use the word "novel" if that is what it is and to preceed that with the author's name. Also you don't "need" to disambiguate everything - so "Colony (Ben Bova novel)" could just as easily be "Colony (novel)" being that it is the best known of the two. Any way I used the full form here just for consistency. By the way you might like to have a stab at writting the Ben Bova article as one doesn't exist yet, Can I also suggest Novels Article Template as a good guide if you want to have a go.

I started re-reading it as soon as I saw that no article existed, just to make sure that I got the article right; plus, I havn't read it since right after I bought the book. NHammen 20:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
