[edit] List of science writers

Whatever this article tries to do, categories will do better. Subject is also ill defined - are pseudoscientific writers supposed to be included? How technical can an author be? How serious is serious? Finally, just way too general. At least, that's what I think. Fangz 01:40, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete A list that includes both Isaac Azimov and Richard Dawkins as 'science writers'? Categorisation is a more efficient way to define people like this. This list will not assist researchers. -- (aeropagitica)  10:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. What am I missing? Asimov certainly wrote "serious nonfiction about science aimed at a general audience". And the Dawkins article says he's a "popular science writer". -- JLaTondre 03:30, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Use the categories, whoever wrote it, use the categories Werdna648^T/_C\^@ 12:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
