John Neely Kennedy → John Kennedy (Louisiana politician) – WP:COMMONNAME, WP:SELFIDENTITY, and WP:INITS. The Louisiana Treasury website used Kennedy's full name prominently in its home page as shown in this 2001 snapshot, but the website also has an introduction written in his name (at least): "I'm State Treasurer John Kennedy, and I would like to welcome you to our web site." This 2012 snapshot of Louisiana Treasury has his full name on the header but with a signature simply with his first and last names.
Furthermore, Kennedy's Senate website has a header reading "John Kennedy, United States Senator for Louisiana," and the website's biography of Kennedy uses "John Kennedy" as well.
News coverage of Kennedy as both Louisiana State Treasurer and US Senator generally omits his middle name, like this Times-Picayune story from 2011 titled "Beware heir scam, Louisiana State Treasurer John Kennedy says" and this one from 2008 that reported: "...President Bush wrapped up his two-day visit to Louisiana on Tuesday by headlining a private fundraiser for state Treasurer John Kennedy..." A google search shows very few results for "John Neely Kennedy" + treasurer or "John N. Kennedy" + treasurer site:nola.com but hundreds for simply John Kennedy.
Similarly, The Advocate newspaper from Louisiana's capital Baton Rouge also prefers "John Kennedy", like this story "Louisiana state treasurer John Kennedy hopes third time is charm in U.S. Senate bid" (2016). The Associated Press has little or no results for "John N. Kennedy" or "John Neely Kennedy" site:apnews.com, but there are plenty of stories using simply "John Kennedy" like this one, "Republican John Kennedy wins Louisiana Senate race in runoff."

- Although I originally created this article under its current name back in July, 2006, I have no objection to the proposed name change.--TommyBoy (talk) 04:18, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support, Ich bin ein NewOrliner. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:57, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support, I found this article through a redirect, that was good enough, but I don't think ideal LondonYoung (talk) 16:06, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support, the proposed name makes more sense. WClarke (talk) 22:13, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support The move makes sense and clearly articulates who we are referring to. My initial fear was that this particular individual would end up getting mixed with JFK and JFK Jr., but considering how clear the proposed title seems to be, it's a good move. Has my support. VP101 (talk) 09:48, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support For the reasons mentioned. He doesn't even mention his middle name on his official Senate bio page. Regards SoWhy 11:12, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support as he doesn't appear to be commonly known by his middle name. Bneu2013 (talk) 22:03, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
