I thought that the article is a bit thin on content for a GA candidate and thus looked into his local body career. From my brief reading, it would appear that his common name is George Richardson. Thoughts? Schwede 66 09:56, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
This funny story was in the newspapers in 1924. Schwede 66 19:01, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Enough oppose arguments that prevent this move from gaining consensus. ( non-admin closure) — Andy W. ( talk · ctb) 19:50, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
George Spafford Richardson → George Richardson (New Zealand military leader) – As mentioned above and since researched further by reading contemporary newspapers, he was not generally known by his middle name; "George Richardson" was his WP:COMMONNAME. As explained above, middle names cannot be used for disambiguation according to WP:NCPDAB. "military leader" would be a suitable dab, but there's also an Indian military leader of this name so I suggest that we add "New Zealand" to the dab, too. Schwede 66 08:31, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English reliable sources, albeit not as commonly as the preferred-but-ambiguous title. Do not, however, use obscure or made-up names, and it seems to satisfy those criteria. The wording in WP:MIDDLENAME
Adding given names, or their abbreviations, merely for disambiguation purposes (if that format of the name is not commonly used to refer to the person) is not advised(emphasis mine) expressly allows for such treatment, as the practice shows – just skim over other entries at George Richardson. I don't think the nominator provided sufficient evidence that "George Spafford Richardson" is so obscure a reference that it precludes its use as the article title.

middle names cannot be used for disambiguation according to WP:NCPDAB– you're misintepreting that, and I refuted that argument above. No such user ( talk) 10:14, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
