Article name

There are two Dan Sullivans in Alaska running for office at the same time. They're both called Daniel Sullivan, but both go by Dan Sullivan - see here, where it also states that "Middle initials would allow for some clarity (the mayor’s is A, and the former attorney general’s is S), but both candidates declined that option", so calling the articles "Daniel S. Sullivan" and "Daniel A. Sullivan" won't work (nevermind WP:COMMONNAME). We can't even keep "Dan Sullivan (mayor)" at that disambig because he's running for (and likely to be elected) Lieutenant Governor and we can't keep changing article names based on what office the subject is elected to. Thus, I'm going to move this article to "Dan Sullivan (politician, born 1951)" and Daniel S. Sullivan to "Dan Sullivan (politician, born 1964)". When talking about them on the same page (for example, here), middle initials should be used to easily distinguish in polling tables etc. Tiller54 (talk) 20:24, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
