Talk:Robert A. Heinlein

Deletion?
The alphabet missed this one. Heinlein's offstage role in WW is pretty inconsequential. The fact that he had a photo session with Yeager isn't that crucial to understanding the timeline. HT could have added Bradbury and Asimov and 5 or 10 others to the list of figures in the photo, and it wouldn't be important. (It's not The Two Georges, after all.) It's nice that Yeager was a sf fan which gave him a fondness for dealing with space aliens, but an article on each author he admired doesn't really provide any useful info. A direct appearance would be a different matter, but there isn't one. Earthgrip, which I have not read, takes place centuries after he's already dead. These refs can probably all be added to his lit refs section if they're not there already.

Theodore Sturgeon and Stanley Weinbaum can be deleted by the same criteria.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 21:25, August 2, 2016 (UTC)
