What's the guy's real name? Should the article be moved, or should the content be reworked again?
Gwillhickers created this article and put much work into it from July 2010 to July 2014, during all of which time the content (and AFAICT the title) was "Houston". I can't see that the article was ever moved. The text on 26 November 2011 included in the lede:
Clair Aubrey Houston (also known as Charles Aubrey Houston; also spelled Huston) was an accomplished...
which seems nice enough. On 13 April 2015, Rajuell (since inactive) changed all instances of "Houston" in the text to "Huston", simultaneously removing the mention of alternate spellings:
Clair Aubrey Huston was an accomplished...
Then on 13 November 2015 Frietjes changed the names to "Houston" but then immediately self-reverted that edit.
Did Rajuell know something I don't know (more than revealed in their edit comment)? Why doesn't the title match the content? I believe I prefer the text present in the 26 November 2011 version, but only if it accurately represents the truth, which I can't definitively determine. I've been able to find "Clair Aubrey Huston" used at the National Post Museum, but can't confirm/refute the use of "Charles" or "Houston". Everything else I find appears to be taken from our WP article.
So, any opinions/explanations/suggestions? I'm inclined to just move the article to "Clair Aubrey Huston", but I'd never heard of the guy two hours ago and would like to gather your input before I do something rash. What's correct? Thanks, — JohnFromPinckney ( talk) 11:07, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Clair Aubrey Houston → Clair Aubrey Huston – As noted by Gwillhickers above, this article was formerly located at "Huston", which seems to have the best support. The Smithsonian Postal Museum uses Huston, as does Gary Griffith's fairly definitive works United States Stamps 1922-26 and United States Stamps 1927-32. I only have a 2011 pocket version of Scott's catalog, which doesn't list designer's names, but as Gwillhickers notes above that Scott's main catalog uses Huston, I think the evidence very strongly favors using Huston instead of Houston Hog Farm Talk 16:02, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
