Since nobody will ever search on 'Albert Arnold Gore' but lots of people will search on Al Gore, shouldn't this page be at Al Gore, with a redirect here, and not the other way around?

Following the normal habit of listing full names in other reference works is a good idea.

I'm not sure this is the normal habit; regardless, if there are reasons why this is a good idea, please list them at Naming conventions. There you will see arguments in favor of using common names like Al Gore rather than formal names like Albert Arnold Gore. The best argument wins.
