Bruce Mann (legal historian) → Bruce H. Mann – There is a good case for the more natural disambiguation "Bruce H. Mann" being a common name. Sources that refer to him with the middle initial include:

His Harvard Law School faculty page [1]
A 1999 University of Pennsylvania Law School alumni newsletter [2]
More recent news stories in 2016 on his role in changing the Harvard Law crest use his middle initial, as in The Washington Post [3] and New York Times [4]. A 2013 Boston Globe profile of his more famous wife, US Senator Elizabeth Warren, uses his middle initial [5].

Also, he has written books [6] and academic papers [7] [8] as "Bruce H. Mann"; so WP:SELFIDENTITY as well. Arbor to SJ (talk) 19:40, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Seems eminently reasonable to do. LK (talk) 03:14, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Agree with LK --Volvlogia (talk) 19:37, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support, arguably a better common name, with naturaldis breaking in favor of a middle initial in use over a disambiguator. bd2412 T 20:48, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is Bruce H Mann a Native American?

Elizabeth Warren's husband contributed to the Native American recipe book "Pow Wow Chow". Does this mean he is a Native American? If so, that is of great interest and should be included.
