I think this is the same fan as R. A. Hoffman—which name is the most canonical? Bee Ostrowsky (talk) 13:15, 12 October 2022 (PDT)
- It is. I was working on this when I saw you were working on the same guy, so I stopped and figured we’d merge them once you were done.
- Everyone in fandom seems to have called him Bob, and he wasn’t famous as a pro. This being Fancyclopedia, I thought Bob as the main title. However, it doesn’t matter much as long as all the names are mentioned and there are sufficient redirects. (See Forrest J Ackerman for an extreme example. However, it’s many-times married women who can be a real conundrum.)
