so in One Small Step, he's called Joe Reinhart but it is definitely meant to be the same guy (the book novelizes the last part of That Which Survives where it was clearly Lemli. I'd say this is an alternate name. -- captainmike

- This seems to be a similar situation to Provenance of Shadows adapting parts of Operation: Annihilate! and giving the name "Crewman Tiroli" for the character who was called Abrams in the script of that episode. I added Tiroli as an alternate name to the Robert Abrams article.
- But on the hand, we don't have Timothy Fletcher (from the This Side of Paradise novelization) listed as an alternate name for Vincent DeSalle. We also don't have Manning (from the A Taste of Armageddon novelization) as an alternate name for Keiko Tamura. Or Phil Raintree as an alternate name for David Galloway (The Omega Glory). Or Li Chow as an alternate name for Captain Lindstrom (Court Martial). Or Dimont as an alternate name for Rogelio Kelowitz (This Side of Paradise).
- So I'm not sure what the correct course of action is here. --NetSpiker (talk) 14:43, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- I think novelizations are a different case - they are the same story but consisting of a continuity of different chains of events. This is a story that overlaps an episode as a sequel/continuation.
- I think for all of those there is more of an imperative to document their separate nature (re: Benjamin Kirk), but that doesnt apply here -- captainmike
