Talk:Robert Markham

British spy fiction writers category

I deleted this category because this is a pseudonym, not a "real person". I have placed the category where it belongs, under Kingsley Amis' article. 23skidoo 06:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I saw that and was planning to remove it too, but I didn't during my "overlapping" edit. Oh well. Fixed. K1Bond007 06:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If more Markham books by different people were published, it might have made sense. But Amis was the only one to use the name, so the category might as well go under his name. I'm still puzzled regarding the embedded note regarding the rumor. What was that all about? 23skidoo 15:12, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Necessity of article?

Since this is a pseudonym that was literally only used once (and the author's real name was actually on the covers of many editions), and that the vast majority of the material here is sourced to references not actually about that pseudonym, I am having a very hard time believing this pseudonym actually has enough independent notability to warrant a separate article. It seems to me that some of this belongs in the article on Kingsley Amis (mostly in passing; while it was a major event at the time, it's only a small part of Amis's long career) and the vast majority of it belongs in the article on Colonel Sun, especially the material on unproduced follow up novels. That would also address my major concern that that material is very awkwardly worded, not at all making clear that it is not referring to Colonel Sun, but a proposed follow-up that was never produced. In short, this is a poor quality article on a subject with no independent notability. oknazevad (talk) 12:00, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
