No Google hits for '1632 editorial board'. Since the title is invented (violates WP:NOR and non notable, this article must be moved. I recommend moving it to 1632 Tech, the name of the discussion board (part of Baen's Bar) where discussion of 1632 happens and when the people and actions described in this article took place.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:45, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- The editorial board is mentioned in several (actually most) of the Gazettes and on 1632.org, iirc, I'm appending the prefix to keep the context in 1632verse... It's the hurdle one has to pass to get from 1632 Slush to published. Besides, is subarticle covering that aspect, common ties to all the 1632's which no one else is working. I've even got the barflies names. Similarly, the 1632 Research Committee. While not an official body they are the loyal minions that have done much of the research for Eric. He and I have been hammering this out in emails.

- Google hits are hardly a good criteria in any event, wikipedia is full of titles that are contrived (virtually every double use of some phrase actually—so we have disambigs... which next to categories are the best thing since Mom's apple pie. But how many hits are you going to get for 'work (fine arts)', or 'Ring of Fire (anthology)' that aren't wikipedia?), despite the silly arguements over such in AfD.
- I'm also working on Jim Baen to release covers (ALL BAEN BOOKS) and 'Splashes' or 'blurbs' (Which is less encylopediac) to GFDL. Per BDAbrahmson, the biggest copyright headaches are international, so releasing those two (which are outside the work proper) will allow international translation.
- If you haven't been snooping, see Grantville Gazette V through VII; I'm uncertain which is most developed as of the moment, but hope to have all seven 'done' to the same state plus finish morphing The Grantville Gazettes subseries main article 'before midnight' (Wife demands dependent!), and writing notes slows work down too! <G>.
- While you've got your 1632 thinking cap on, I'm not sure what to do with 1632 Slush as an article if anything. My best guess is make it a redirect to a subsection of the editorial board, which is sort of the opposite of what you are saying. That title is sooooooo childish sounding, too netspeakish, though, that every time I type it I cringe. That's why I'm pretty strong on the 1632 Editorial Board title.
