William Phillips Endean → William Endean – He's not known by his middle name. I can't move the page myself, as there's a redirect in the way with a history of two edits. That redirect was originally put there to deal with Russell Endean, whose full name is William Russell Endean. I propose that this ambiguity be dealt with by a hatnote; hence there's no disambiguation page required for the proposed article name. Relisted.

Well, it turns out that he was known as Bill Endean after all, as documented in Barry Gustafson's History of the National Party. Schwede 66 18:24, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
