The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. With one oppose vote, and just the nominator as support, I see no consensus so the page remains where it is. Has received a full relisting as well, so there is no ongoing debate. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 11:17, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Arthur Cudmore → Arthur Murray Cudmore – He is almost always referred to with his middle name or by his initials ie Dr A. M. Cudmore Relisted. BDD (talk) 00:08, 12 October 2013 (UTC) 121.219.135.37 (talk) 04:45, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
 * OPPOSE on the grounds of conciseness and precision: There is no necessity for the middle name to disambiguate the subject of this article. Also on common usage: using Trove to search Australian newspapers we find in FAMILY NOTICES 6 instances of his full name and 6 of the shorter form; but the former relate to one event only - his marriage. In ARTICLES in the decades 1910–1919 and 1920–1929 the short form predominates by a factor of about 15:1 and in 1930–1939 about 4:1. After his knighthood he was almost invariably referred to as Sir Arthur Cudmore. Doug butler (talk) 14:51, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
