This page (Michael Innes) should be merged with the J. I. M. Stewart page, since this is the same person!!! Kraxler 18:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think he should be merged with the JIM Stewart page since, even though they are 1 person, they are 2 distinct and different personas writing for 2 different audiences. On the Innes page it is clearly stated that his real name is Stewart. And vice versa. Most readers of Michael Innes books have never read a Stewart book, I would wager....

- The Innes books are mentioned on the Stewart page, though, and I think even if he wrote for distinct audiences, it's still the same man, there is not one page for Winston Churchill the politician and another for Winston Churchill the writer, although most people who ever voted for him never read a book by him.....

- True. But that's confusing apples and oranges. Churchill wasn't calling himself something else as a writer. How about Ellery Queen and Barnaby Ross? How about John Dickson Carr and Carter Dickson? There are probably many others.... Hayford Peirce 19:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
- Exactly, in all these cases the pages should be merged, I'm going to do it tomorrow! John Dickson Carr used even a few more pseudonyms, writing DISTINCTLY for the SAME audience, and there is NO Carter Dickson page, it redirects to John Dickson Carr, because someone was sensible enough to merge it if there was one! Anyway, this is an ENCYCLOPEDIA! If people play hide-and-seek with their audience, this is the place to say so! Kraxler 16:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
