Support Vast majority of sources use his middle initial even when several of his fellow politicians, many of them also having middle names, are not cited with them. For example, this source uses his middle initial and does not mention the middle name of Kenny Anthony. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 09:56, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support the same to me, many resources use his middle name too. CoryGlee (talk) 12:30, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
