Dan Flood → Daniel Flood – "Daniel" is more common in media than "Dan" per google search "Daniel Flood" Congress vs. "Dan Flood" Congress and these examples: [1] [2] [3] [4] Arbor to SJ (talk) 19:12, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I am neutral, but this is neither uncontroversial nor technical. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:54, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Should probably be moved but to "Daniel J. Flood" instead. Look up google results, J. Flood has about double compared to "Daniel Flood". Also double compared to Dan -- BlueJag (talk) 22:11, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reply: Many of those results are likely because of places named after him such as an elementary school or the habits of The New York Times and Washington Post to use middle initials regardless of popular usage (those newspapers surely didn't have to follow WP:COMMONNAME). Media coverage during his lifetime often omitted the middle initial, such as this 1977 newspaper story, this 1978 ABC News story, this 1979 Washington Post story, this 1986 Los Angeles Times story, this 1986 Associated Press story, this 1993 United Press story, and obituaries of him from 1994 by Washington Post, New York Times, and Associated Press.
- So it is likely that "Daniel Flood" meets WP:MIDDLENAME especially because the national TV networks didn't use the middle initial, a fact not exactly captured by google search results. Arbor to SJ (talk) 23:11, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
- To editors Arbor to SJ, LaundryPizza03 and BlueJag: Courtesy notice of opened discussion. This is a contested technical request (permalink). 2pou (talk) 22:17, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
- Support Daniel J. Flood or Daniel Flood. We don't go by gross google counts or headlines or TV chyrons. We need to look at how highly reliable sources refer to him at first mention in running text. Daniel J. Flood seems to be most common in the refs used in the article, but Daniel Flood is often also used. Dan Flood is less common, especially in the most reliable sources.
