Charles Francis Richter → Charles Richter – Charles Richter already redirects here, so there is no reason to disambiguate using his middle name. Therefore, WP:MIDDLENAME needs to be satisfied. Per the ngram and the number of Google Results (with Francis, 29,000 results; with F., 72,600 results; without either, 113,000 results), it seems "Charles Richter" is most commonly used. That, combined with WP:CONCISION, seems to make simply "Charles Richter" the best article title. Cerebral726 (talk) 15:46, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
