According to the history section of the 'Barry Goldman' page, the name change happened on July 16, 2012 (one day after JB Blanc's 2nd appearance on the show in the S5 premiere) and pushed by the user, TheOneWhoKnocks69 who claimed to have worked on the set for the final season.
I think that’s just a knock-on effect from the name being changed on Wiki. Fans see it in one influential place so it becomes the norm and changed on other user-driven sites.
Looking forward to your book! I write monthly articles about the intersection of Shakespeare and pop culture for the Folger Shakespeare Library (where I've cited you several times in my essays about WANDAVISION and DEADWOOD), but I thought you might like my piece about BCS, which I viewed, of course, through a Shakespearean lens. https://www.folger.edu/blogs/shakespeare-and-beyond/better-call-saul-kim-wexler-macbeth/
Alan, I have bee a fangirl of yours since your NYPD Blue reviews, back in the day when the internets were still kinda ragged. Loved your analysis and commentary then and still love it. BB and BCS have joined NYPDB in my pantheon of Best TV Dramas Ever Made (also making the list are The Wire, The Shield, Six Feet Under) -- and you've been present for most (maybe all?) of them. What a cool career you've had! Can' wait for this book -- BCS is way my favorite. (I think I was one of your earliest pre-sells!)
Alan, I happen to bartend a few blocks down the way - at Hearthon 12th and 1st! I’m working the night you’re at the Strand but, if you wanna stop by for an early dinner at the bar, it’d be a delight to host you! 🙏🏻❤️🔥 can’t wait to pick up a copy of the book!

But it’s also on IMDb and other places. It’s weird.

Loved the character-naming minutiae. Good reporting! Barry, barry good, man.
