Obit is for his father[edit]

I've seen this same error in Contemporary Authors, I believe: An obit that is actually for his father, with the same name except for the middle initial. The link in the source of this page actually has a footnote at the end mentioning the error in attributing some of the sons books to his father: Saxon, Wolfgang (July 21, 1996). "Merrill Gilfillan, 86; Wrote About Plains". The New York Times. NYTimes.com. Retrieved December 25, 2010. So there is some value in the link helping to clear up that confusion but does it also contribute to it? I'm not sure how to handle this on the Wikipedia page. Any ideas would be much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mosey Along (talk • contribs) 15:22, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
