Talk:Bob Hoffman

I think this is the same fan as R. A. Hoffman—which name is the most canonical? Bee Ostrowsky (talk) 13:15, 12 October 2022 (PDT)

It is. I was working on this when I saw you were working on the same guy, so I stopped and figured we’d merge them once you were done.

Everyone in fandom seems to have called him Bob, and he wasn’t famous as a pro. This being Fancyclopedia, I thought Bob as the main title. However, it doesn’t matter much as long as all the names are mentioned and there are sufficient redirects. (See Forrest J Ackerman for an extreme example. However, it’s many-times married women who can be a real conundrum.)

(Btw, don’t put a link to the SFE unless they actually have an article on the person or topic. They mostly only cover pros who published books.) Leah Zeldes Smith (talk) 14:02, 12 October 2022 (PDT)

Right, I think I finally cleaned it all up. And my brain blinked out for a moment when I saw SFE; I knew he had an ISFDB page and was thinking of that. Thanks! Bee Ostrowsky (talk) 09:03, 13 October 2022 (PDT)
