The "Take Action" link opens a modal giving three options:
1. appeal
2. change name
I forget the third... The appeal asks for links to prove your name like other social profiles, plus an option to upload 1 document (e.g. photo ID / passport). After submitting you're told to wait and find out the outcome of the appeal. They also link to the rabbit hole that is Google "help" pages.

Back to the topic at hand: writing "appears to impersonate" wouldn't have been so much extra effort, would it?

Ah, so google thinks a given "FirstName LastName" is unique?
I remember Martha Stewart once filled the audience of her show entirely with people named "Martha Stewart."
Is it possible to use G+ without my real name?
No, G+ has always required your real name, whatever that means.

It used to be more strict.
How long have you been waiting?
