Genetic manipulation in Rorqual Maru (1972) Galaxy, Volume 32 No.4

In: Rorqual Maru (1971, UPD Publishing Corp. / Galaxy, Volume 32 No.4)

Any geneticists out there?

-How accurately does Bass use technical terms and procedures in his descriptions of genetic engineering?

-If accurate, was it the latest available info in 1971? Did he make any really good guesses?

-A brief discussion of the history of this field as imagined/used/anticipated in SF would be interesting

(under topic: Science Fiction ?) I'll bet a bunch of us have our favorites; like RAH's Jerry Was A Man

(Thrilling Wonder Stories, October 1947 & Assignment in Eternity, Signet, 1953)) or Varley's Uplift novels.

Requested move 20 September 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. General support to move per nomination as not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Also, there are more support to create a disambiguation page over a hatnote per WP:ONEOTHER. (closed by non-admin page mover) Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 09:19, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

T. J. Bass → T. J. Bass (author) – not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC per page views Joeykai (talk) 00:08, 20 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 09:16, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support – the pageviews for T. J. Bass (7/day) and T. J. Bass (American football) (52/day) have nearly an order of magnitude difference. Given that there are only two articles, I'd support moving T. J. Bass (American football) to T. J. Bass with a hatnote (WP:ONEOTHER), rather than creating a disambiguation page. jlwoodwa (talk) 17:41, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:07, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, jlwoodwa and Crouch, Swale, paired with creation of a T. J. Bass disambiguation page that would list T. J. Bass (author) as well as T. J. Bass (American football). —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:52, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Roman Spinner: I'm not strongly opposed, but why do you think a disambiguation page is better than a hatnote here? jlwoodwa (talk) 23:59, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jlwoodwa: I'm not strongly opposed either, but tend to expect a very high order of magnitude for WP:ONEOTHER primary topic, such as 100:1. If consensus ultimately skews towards a primary topic swap, that will be an equally acceptable outcome. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:14, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and create dabpage at basename. No primary topic per long-term significance. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:41, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
