One possibility occurs to me—and there are always possibilities. 😏
In the section Background, a paragraph could be added; to wit:
In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Spock delves further into his family tree, referencing an ancestor who maintained that, in the search for facts, when the impossible is eliminated, what remains must be true, no matter how unlikely.<ref>((cite book|last=Britt|first=Ryan|title=Luke Skywalker Can't Read: And Other Geeky Truths|edition=Kindle|chapter=Baker Streets on Infinite Earths: Sherlock Holmes as the Eternal Sci-Fi Superhero|pages=82–83|quote=[Britt:] I chatted extensively with [screenwriter] Nicholas Meyer, who … claims that 'the link between Spock and Holmes was obvious to everyone. I just sort of made it official.' … when I needled Meyer to tell me who Spock's great-great-great-great-great-grandmother was, he said that it was, 'of course, Irene Adler.'))</ref>
That said, if another editor were to remove the passage over encyclopaedic merit, I would not revert. ATS (talk) 21:37, 30 December 2020 (UTC) 🖖🏻
In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Spock delves further into his family tree, referencing "an ancestor of mine" who maintained, in the same manner as Sherlock Holmes, that in the search for facts, when the impossible is eliminated, what remains must be true, no matter how unlikely.
Just for shits and giggles, I left a message at nicholas-meyer.com asking for comment on my essay—and someone claiming to be "Nick" just responded. His 'voice' is the same, so I'm inclined to believe it.
Nick found my essay "thoroughly entertaining". 😄 His first comment after that was to question whether he's playing that 'great game' amongst the Holmesians or acting in a more "'extraterrestrial' capacity". This makes perfect sense: the 'great game' of pretending Holmes is real is largely applied to real life; Meyer's is fictional, if within that same universe.
That said, he laments the tendency of people to take things too seriously, and longs for more whimsy, of which he seems happily guilty. He doesn't address Spock/Holmes—I didn't actually ask, either—but my reply that an encyclopaedia has to be serious includes a statement that a direct relation cannot be stated unless he actually says so.
We'll see where that goes. —ATS (talk) 16:53, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Some additions to my essay that you may find interesting including, among other things, that it finally occurred to me that I should solicit Britt's opinions. ATS (talk) 19:21, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:
This has already been decided so please unblock me. I found this: 'To clarify further: I am not a sockpuppet of "Alden Loveshade," whom I have never heard of. I have changed my password and verified my email account (which I believed I already had). I have reviewed my editing history and can not point to any suspicious activity. Again, I am just very perplexed by this entire thing. -Crystical (talk) 12:08, 29 May 2024 (UTC)Crystical' ' Just to be clear, the block was because you were believed to be a sockpuppet. My discussion with the blocking admin revolved around this. We no longer believe you are a sockpuppet. :) --Yamla (talk) 12:49, 29 May 2024 (UTC)' ' Crystical: this was my fault--I misread a table with the information from a few different editors including you.
