– Although the politician's alternative naming form is "Joseph F.", not simply "Joseph", his WP:COMMONNAME is "Joe", as evidenced by his political website. Whether this page is moved or not, the disambiguation page still contains more Joes than Josephs, thus its main header should be "Joe". —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 22:40, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- Support per nom. The US contingent used to have a misguided consensus that articles about most politicians below the very top tier of ubernotables always had to be forced to a full name (inclusive of middle initials or full middle names in most cases) regardless of how the politician was actually known to the general public, but that's since been deprecated. If he's generally known as Joe rather than Joseph, then the article should be at Joe. Bearcat (talk) 17:12, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
