- The naming of the article isn't clear cut. Although his name was (Ronald?) MacKinnon, he was known throughout his career as Ron(nie) McKinnon so the statistical sites show him as Mc rather than Mac. Even the article you helpfully link to, explaining the back story of his naming, is sub-titled "By Ronnie McKinnon". WP:COMMONNAME maybe applies. I have set up a redirect from Ronnie MacKinnon to the existing article title. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:51, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
