:Indeed. This better matches the lede “Titan Books published multiple ranges of novels and anthologies featuring the 19th century detective Sherlock Holmes” than construing these books as a ''formal'' series.

This seems off-topic for the wiki. The article may be improved if it states more explicitly the justification for inclusion. Then, other books eg those by Wellman, Farmer and Saberhagen can be linked to the wiki's articles on HG Wells' Martians, Tarzan, and Dracula – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.159.5.121 (talk • contribs) .
- The justification for inclusion is given by the "Notes" column of those stories which are redlinked i.e. open for coverage; in all cases it is because they feature licensed appearances by characters who debuted in prior DWU stories, as documented at T:VS. (It follows that other books in this series without DWU elements are not to be used as sources on pages like Dracula.) Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 20:12, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
