:The other article has already been deleted as an A7 (Article with no crediable claim of importance) so I think it would be best to make sure that the other article can be sourced well enough to survive an AFD first since if it can't the move would be completely unneeded. That said I have no idea if was a correct use of A7, a complete mistake or simply a badly written article about a notable subject so I will do not plan to support or oppose at this time.--

I don't buy the "it's weird" argument for this proposed move. Why would we need a hatlink on Richard A. Karp, regardless of what the article on the more famous Karp is called? See
WP:NAMB. —

Well, IMHO we'd need some indication in
Richard A. Karp that there's another
Richard Karp article out there (and not a duplicate, but a separate person). We could get by without one, but I would think it makes sense. BTW, David (or any other admin-type reading this), could you undelete
Richard A. Karp so people can see what we're talking about? --

Oppose citations appear to almost exclusively refer to this person as Richard Karp, not Richard M. Carp. We don't traditionally add in middle initials as a method of disambiguation, if they are not common employed in sources. If disambiguation is necessary (and I personally don't see it being so) it would be best to do so through parentheses disambiguation, not the insertion of a middle initial. --

Support On a secondary review, my analysis was WAY off. So shockingly off that I am going to appoligize for having written my first comment in the first place. Quantling is bang on. His papers, going back as far as 1962, consistently employing the initial
[1]. How I missed the fact that his home page at Berkely
[2] employs the initial is beyond me. I found one paper from 1985
[3] 2001
[4] and 2003
[5] where he did not use the initial, but these seem out of the norm. In my jstor search, I made the mistake of confusing him with a Richard Karp in the biology field.--

FWIW, a decent amount of his work since the early 1990's has been in computational biology, so the Richard Karp you found in biology may be one and the same as this article's Richard M. Karp. —
