message: I'm afraid this article is more a celebration of geekdom (the fantasy world of Poul Anderson) than actual facts.   Needs work.  --173.69.135.105 (talk) 02:14, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can this article become any more geeky?  

message: The BBC archives include a document from 1962 discussing what would make a good TV series project and Guardians of Time is noted as being particularly attractive as a series. It's clear the BBC see this as part of the Genesis of Doctor Who. Should a reference to this be made in the entry about Anderson?

thread_title:  Influence on Doctor Who 

message: Anderson had a fair bit of hearing loss, I think primarily towards the end of his life. I'm not sure when it started or how much he ended up losing, but it definitely was affecting his public demeanor in the 1990s; he was quiet and shy in crowds, but would come alive and talk very enthusiastically to a single person or small group. This is personal recollection, should probably be substantiated and placed in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.41.25 (talk) 10:13, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  deafness 

message: Currently, the first paragraph ends:
:Following Anton Anderson's death, his widow took her children to Denmark. The family returned to the United States after the outbreak of World War II, settling eventually on a Minnesota farm.
This dating is wrong, according to Anderson himself in the introduction to Going for Infinity (2002), where he states:
:In 1938 she took us back to Denmark. She had plenty of influential connections there to help us. But after some months she left again. Another war was too clearly coming.
So the family returned to the US before the outbreak of the war, not after it. Idontcareanymore (talk) 09:58, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I think it's way past time for great chunks of this article to be deleted as OR.  Someone tried to get by with a couple of stated references, but inline citations are wholly missing.  It was discussed some time back that this article is mostly an essay from some people's personal POV on him. No action has been taken on the various completely un-referenced sections. 03:32, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
