OK, according to here J. P. Johnson and Jess Franco are the same person (been trying to find some other sources to confirm these if anyone can help) so what i think this is saying is that the film was directed by Jess Franco under the pseudonym of J. P. Johnson, so how should this be credited in the profile.


How i have it at the moment is Jess Franco ["J. P. Johnson"]

This is what the rear cover shows

From the rules:

"If an actor's credited name includes a nickname, highlighted by ", ’ or ( ), list it in the middle name field."

That gives us Jess "J. P. Johnson" Franco

so your saying it should be Jess Franco [Jess "J. P. Johnson" Franco]

per CLT the common name is Jess Franco

"Jess Franco" is credited in the following 177 titles (249 profiles):
"Jesus Franco" is credited in the following 106 titles (142 profiles):
"J. P. Johnson" is credited in the following 5 titles (5 profiles):
"Jess "J. P. Johnson" Franco" is credited in the following 0 titles (0 profiles):
""J. P. Johnson" Jess Franco" is credited in the following 0 titles (0 profiles):

Wouldn't "J. P. Johnson" be a pseudonym rather than a "nickname"?

I didn't do the research but, if that is what the CLT shows, then that is how I would enter it.

If the credit were simply "Directed by J. P. Johnson", I would enter it as a pseudonym, but it isn't.  They included both names in the credit so I have to enter both names and doing it as a nickname seems to make the most sense to me.

Fully agree with the Martian: this should be entered as Jess Franco [Jess / "J. P. Johnson" / Franco].

For the online I would enter it the same way as The Martian.

Locally I would probably do it this way:
Director: Jess Franco ["J. P. Johnson"]
Director: Jess Franco

I think that the corrected way is:
Jess Franco ["J. P. Johnson" Jess Franco]
as on screen.

Actually, that rule is talking about actors. The director is part of the crew. I don't know why the rule only mentions actors?

The rule: "If an actor's credited name includes a nickname, highlighted by ", ’ or ( ), list it in the middle name field."

I think for the credited as the rule with puting in the Nick name in the middle field doesn't apply, so I wouldn't do a transforming of the name. (-> Kluge's post)

But I'm very undecided if we should see it as one credit or if we would say this are two entries for one person. (-> Corne's post, what he'd do local)

I really hope not all of his aliases can be found in our database:

Sorry, German sites, but I think the "Pseudonyme" or "Manchmal auch benannt als" can be found without a good German:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jess_Franco
http://www.ofdb.de/view.php?page=person&id=750
Two in English:
http://www.cinesploitation.com/?p=423
http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?qs=d1022495
Not with the shortened aka "J. P. Johnson", but with "James P. Johnson":

I'm not 100% sure that all those pseudonyms are his? if you look at the page for Lina Romay and check her alternate names you will find that some of them are the same (of coarse they could both be using the same alternate names) which is why i was trying to find some other sources to corroborate them (thanks for the links)

Because it seems to me that "J. P. Johnson" is more a pseudonym that a nickname.
