Including middle initial in title

As far as I can tell, he publishes as Norman J. Ornstein, and AEI calls him Norman J. Ornstein, but everybody else refers to him as Norman Ornstein (or Norm Ornstein). As I read WP:NCP, I think the article should thus be titled Norman Ornstein. Theoldsparkle (talk) 15:45, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The result of the proposal was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 21:53, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Norman Ornstein → Norm Ornstein – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Ornstein's own work is published under "Norm"[1]. Relisted. BDD (talk) 18:59, 2 August 2013 (UTC) – Muboshgu (talk) 20:22, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Google Scholar disagrees with your claim. I get 157 hits for Norm Ornstein (and at least one of those is about the unrelated L²-norm Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process), 1,440 for Norman Ornstein and 1,670 for Norman J. Ornstein, which if anything suggests that we include the middle initial. For emphasis, take a look at the cover of his most cited work. Favonian (talk) 13:24, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
