The William Mann etc that I'm interested in is the Mozart, Richard Srauss etc 
author. There are namesakes and one book on an alien subject may or may not 
have been wrongly linked with my Mann. That is not yet researched.

I'm hoping that next time I go to edit, that 'Mann, William' will have 
responded to my efforts to change the format as there is much duplication.

  I doubt, that this is the same man. Not even "William Mann" is one single 
person, unless he has a remarkable rage of interests:

  - 1982 a book about the Operas of Mozart
  - 1996 he's writing about the Netscape Navigator 3
  - 2005 he published the novel "All American Boy" with the imprint "William J. 
Mann"

    Hi,

    This is the same man.

    William Mann

    William S Mann

    William Somervell Mann

    Books are listed under all three names.

    Presumably where the style of name is different, merging is inappropriate?
