My earlier note was mainly written to argue against the need for a
corporate treatment for Pendleton. If we want to distinguish the
franchised name as a separate bibliographic identity, we can do it
with personal name headings.
On the other hand, the existing authority's 663 and 670s explain the
situation fairly well, so I'm not sure an additional
cataloger-directed note is needed. Presumably an 046 added to the
authority would reflect only the true Don Pendleton's dates in
subfields $f and $g and not those of the other authors writing as Don
Pendleton. As long as no persnickety machine validation routine
objects to a work record for a "Pendleton" novel with a creation date
after Pendleton's death, we should be fine.
I still wonder how RDA would handle the relationship between one of
the ghost authors and the "Pendleton" novel he wrote. Are they both
just "Author"?
