Paul S. Trible Jr. → Paul Trible – WP:COMMONNAME and WP:INITS. Many sources omitted his middle initial. Google search for "Sen. Paul Trible" gets 1,800+ results, compared to ~500 for "Sen. Paul S. Trible".

For example, The Washington Post quoted columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak in 1987 using "Sen. Paul Trible."
News stories that lead off with "Sen. Paul Trible" include:
- A "Washington Update" section in the September 10, 1984 Computerworld magazine.
- A 1987 United Press International wire story.
- And a 1987 Journal of Commerce article.
- In the same year, an Associated Press wire story carried this headline: "Virginia Senator Paul Trible Will Not Seek Re-Election."
The C-SPAN video database for Trible shows "Paul Trible" as the most common lower chyron for the senator.

The administration page of Christopher Newport University has "Paul S. Trible Jr." as the header but introduces him as "Senator Paul Trible" [1]. Arbor to SJ (talk) 04:25, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
