James Alan Abrahamson → James A. Abrahamson – or simply: James Abrahamson. He is noted as JA Abrahamson in his publications as shown in scholar search ("James Alan Abrahamson" OR "James A. Abrahamson" OR "James Abrahamson" OR "J. A. Abrahamson") AND ("Air Force general" OR " astronaut" OR "NASA" OR "Strategic Defense Initiative") and is more predominantly described as "James A. Abrahamson" or "James Abrahamson" which is also confirmed in books search ("James Alan Abrahamson" OR "James A. Abrahamson" OR "James Abrahamson" OR "J. A. Abrahamson") AND ("Air Force general" OR " astronaut" OR "NASA" OR "Strategic Defense Initiative"). --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 02:51, 23 April 2015 (UTC) Greg Kaye 05:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support; when the same name is both the WP:COMMONNAME based on Google hits, and is more WP:CONCISE, moving is a no-brainer. bd2412 T 19:15, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External link?[edit]

Would an interview with transcript with James Abrahamson from 1987 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_2FBA42E09B35472EBCC271799D1F92B3 (I have a conflict of interest; otherwise I would add it myself.)
