Since the ISFDB currently matches awards and Works lexically, should we indicate that all other things being equal, editors should use the title used by a known award? Ahasuerus 20:54, 20 Jun 2006 (CDT)

Hmmm. I see why we might say that, but would we actually want to break bibliographic rules just because an award does? Wouldn't we say, instead, that if the award is given to a variant title that doesn't have any existence in an actual publication, that you should create a variant title for that purpose, just so it can match? Or does the award have to match against the parent title? Mike Christie 21:21, 20 Jun 2006 (CDT)
