Using a person's middle name or initial is a natural way to disambiguate and
therefore acceptable ([[George W. Bush]]/[[George H. W. Bush]]). [[Elizabeth
Smart (kidnap victim)]] would be my second choice. The 'media sensation' one
has got to go, though.
I see the article is at [[Elizabeth Smart (kidnap victim)]] right now, so I'm
happy with that.
