Name

Major Raymond Lisenba a.k.a. Robert S. James "The Rattlesnake Murderer" Shouldn't this article be under his real name? 71.226.144.42 (talk) 04:25, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. The criteria for naming an article include using a commonly recognizable name, this is not necessarily the official name. In this case, I am not sure which name is the best one to use, either, as the sources all seem to have different combinations, too. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 13:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
