:: 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 ?

:: 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.

::: I really don't care what additional description you want to append, as long as "science fiction author" stays, add what descriptor you want and as long as it seems reasonable I won't argue. [[User:Tmtoulouse|Tmtoulouse]] 02:33, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
