John A PearsonEdit

I can write this, but to avoid misrepresenting a real person, I need a quick clarification:

Is John A Pearson a real public figure, or should I treat this as a fictional/composite encyclopedia entry for the purposes of the article? If real, please provide any key verified facts (profession, notable works or positions, dates) you want included. If fictional, I’ll treat him as a composite character and frame the article accordingly, while presenting multiple perspectives on his work and the surrounding debates.

Also, would you like a strictly neutral, balanced lineage of sections (Early life, Career, Public positions, Controversies, Reception, Legacy) or a more narrative biographical arc with integrated coverage of debates?
