Using a person's middle name or initial is a natural way to disambiguate and 
therefore acceptable ([[George W. Bush]]/[[George H. W. Bush]]).  [[Elizabeth 
Smart (kidnap victim)]] would be my second choice. The 'media sensation' one 
has got to go, though. 

I see the article is at [[Elizabeth Smart (kidnap victim)]] right now, so I'm 
happy with that.
