Isn't Daniel Handler also a screenplay writer?
A recent vandal remarked "He is married to Lisa Brown." This actually appears to be true. Perhaps the vandal was trying to make amends? He (DH) met Brown, a graphic artist, at university, it would appear. Rich Farmbrough 21:34, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
He is married to Lisa Brown. What did the vandal actually do that was bad? General messing up pages? Anyway, yep, the vandal's right. LordMooCow 9:52, July 3, 2005 (GMT+10)

Daniel, as Lemony, has also done an intro to a very long titled book: "Noisy Outlaws, Unfriendly Blobs, and Some Other Things That Aren't as Scary, Maybe, Depending on How You Feel About Lost Lands, Stray Cellphones, Creatures from the Sky, Parents Who Disappear in Peru, a Man Named Lars Farf, and One Other Story We Couldn't Quite Finish, so Maybe You Could Help Us Out." I haven't seen the intro, and I don't know if it is noteworthy enough to put on here. Anybody else know? -- JCoug 21:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to make much sense to me having a seperate page for the pseudonym, this should be merged with Daniel Handler. Maybe a page should be made for the character with the same name. darkskyz 16:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC))Contribution moved from Lemony Snicket#Merge with Daniel Handler)-- Jerzy• t 18:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Lemony Snicket should be dedicated to the character of that name, while info on the writer using the pseudonym should be moved into this page. darkskyz 16:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Merging Handler and Snicket makes little sense, as Snicket is also a significant character in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and the distinction between Snicket as an author and Snicket as a character is highly blurry (if it even exists). It's so much simpler - and in my opinion, makes more sense - to keep information on Lemony Snicket on the Lemony Snicket page, and information about Daniel Handler on the Daniel handler page. 81.132.183.220 20:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Propose that, if votes against continue to dominate a fortnight after the original suggestion, we call this a majority against merging the articles and scrap the merge tags. 81.132.183.220 16:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't agree with the merge as the persona Lemony Snicket is an odd one that isn't just the pseudonym for the author but part of the story. It is thus quite hard to disentangle the two with a simple merge/redirect without messing up the Daniel Handler page. ps: I haven't actually read any of the books and have just watched the ASOUE movie on DVD so kind of neutral in view.

We Shouldn't merge Handler with Snicket. Instead, We should merge Snicket with Handler! Makes perfect sence! Dabeebo929 21:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
The June 10, 2007 issue of the New York Times Magazine (p. 106) includes an article by Daniel Handler describing his guilt about whether he donates enough money to charity. Mr. Handler uses this potentially interesting introduction to quickly move on to a discussion of his immense annual income and wealth, including a personal income ranking down to the thousandth of a percent. It also includes amusing anecdotes about how truly ridiculously wealthy Mr. Handler's friends and family imagine him to be, when he is in fact merely "monstrous[ly]" wealthy.
Mr. Handler tells us that the amount of money he gave to one charity in one year is more than 99% of the rest of the world makes per year, which is an efficient way of turning a private act of generosity into a noisy public spectacle. Mr. Handler's rug, were it a person, would rank at the 15th percentile of incomes worldwide, he helpfully shares. Sadly, no information was provided on the expense of his silk boxer shorts or the size of the tip he left the waitress at Chez Panisse, or how many people he told about it on the way out the door to the valet.

FYI, these two authors are catalogued distinctly by the U.S. Library of Congress (contrast its treatment of Sam Clemens [1]), VIAF and WorldCat. Evidently, the German national database has a single listing (Snicket) but it's not working as I complete template {{ Authority control}} at the foot of this article, twice.
LC does assign the same Library of Congress Classification, thus library call numbers of their books both begin "PS3558.A4636". It provides a reference showing that the librarians learned years before some of us: "Phone call to pub., 03/12/99 (Daniel Handler also uses the name: Lemony Snicket)"; vice versa for LS.
At Talk: Authority control i have learned that many databases and some webpages use the control numbers in order to automate links both to the catalog pages for these two authors *and* (after we have added this template) to their wikipedia biographies. I don't yet know whether it can work to put both at the foot of this article.
My primary purpose in reporting here now is to inform that there is high-level professional interest in distinguishing DH and LS. -- P64 ( talk) 23:02, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
I think the IP has it right. It's not yet clear if Handler's remarks will have lasting significance so right now, it's just a piece of news. -- NeilN talk to me 14:21, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
The following are reviews of We Are Pirates, Handler's recent book: [2] [3]. I don't have time to summarise them in the article now, and haven't actually read the book, but We Are Pirates may be notable enough to deserve its own article if someone wants to create one. — Bilorv (talk) (c) (e) 21:59, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
