→How to write this article: Found 301 works registered with the Library of Congress for Hubbard. A few are science fiction
:I vehemently object, if you want to add another adjective in ADDITION to science fiction author okay (depending on the adjective of course). [[User:Tmtoulouse|Tmtoulouse]] 00:46, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

:: Okay. How should we choose the adjective(s) to describe his authorship? Do we agree that in the 1940s he wrote and was known for his science fiction ? Is that a reasonable beginning point? Because, as the news article says, 5,000 writings and 3,000 lectures. That's more writing than his science fiction writings, I think. Maybe A library of congress search to find how many of what kind by Hubbard? Would that satisfy ? [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 01:39, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

:: Okay, the Library of Congress [http://www.loc.gov] yields 301 entries (individual works I think) for "Hubbard, L. Ron (La Fayette Ron), 1911-1986". Simply looking at the titles, they are Dianetics and Scientology books, lectures and so on. But included are the 10 volumes of his "Battlefield Earth" which is science fiction. So, what pen names did he write his science fiction under, then we can compare quantities. [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 02:24, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
