[edit] Clarification
I guess I don't understand what this means:
- As a result, for British readers who never purchased the 1962 hardcover edition, The Spy Who Loved Me, not The Man with the Golden Gun, was their final Fleming James Bond novel.
Can you explain this a little better please? K1Bond007 18:42, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)

- Maybe there's a better way of putting it. What I meant was that many British readers never saw the 1962 release of the novel. The paperback release occured after Man with the Golden Gun and the Octopussy paperback collection. So for many readers in the UK, Spy who Loved Me (for better or for worse) was the last "new" Ian Fleming Bond work they ever saw. (Feel free to reword all that! ;-) ). 23skidoo 23:57, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Oh, I think I get it. Perhaps it should be reworded a little. K1Bond007 03:32, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Do not split the article
I oppose splitting the article into separate film and novel articles, as well as a needless separate article for the novel. It works fine as a cohesive whole. If the decision is made to split the novelisation off, it needs to be sent to the title James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me as this is the correct title of the work. 23skidoo 12:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- Each seperate piece of art needs a seperate article. See Revenge of the Sith ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 00:05, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- But the section just isn't big enough to have its own article, and there's no way it could be expanded without including OR, POV or anything else that Wikipedia does not want or need. Double Dash 18:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Which section? The novel by Fleming or the novelisation by Wood? We can build an article off of Fleming's novel easily - I could anyway. Not so sure about the novelisation - not right now. Too short and I can't recall all the differences. K1Bond007 03:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References in other films
While I'll grant the possibility of Dr. No being inspired by Spy Who Loved Me's "pillow trick" scene (though I think the film was shot before the novel came out), suggesting that a shower scene in A View to a Kill was in any way inspired by SWLM is utterly NN so I have removed it. If someone can provide a good source to suggest that it did inspire the scene, please feel free to put the reference back. Another reference worth adding (but I need to find the book where it's mentioned) is that Jaws was apparently inspired by a character in the original novel who had steel teeth. I need to confirm that one before adding, however. 23skidoo (talk) 16:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Suggested Move
Since most the the other James Bond novel articles are titled name of book (novel), shouldn't this article be The Spy Who Loved Me (novel) because there was a movie too. Emperor001 (talk) 02:23, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- If no one responds soon, I will move this article. Emperor001 (talk) 20:09, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
