Cautious support As the other 2 people this might possibly refer to appear to be normally known as "Samuel Sloan". We should of course retain some sort of hatnote. PatGallacher (talk) 22:00, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support as standard procedure for use of parenthetical qualifiers. If there is a sole "Billy", "Charlie" or "Johnny" on a disambiguation page listing those named "William", "Charles" or "John", there no need for a qualifier and a redirect to the dab page unless the articles describing the other individuals stated that one or more of them was also well-known and publicly referenced by the diminutive form of his given name.—Roman Spinner(talk)05:19, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Known_for
I thought that we reached consensus
here with the sentence "The Supreme Court case is notable." that Sloan's strongest claim to notability. Yet, the string "SEC v. Sloan, 436 US 103" in the "known_for" field of the infobox template has been removed by somebody. Please restore those 24 UNICODE characters of human knowledge to that field in a timely fashion.--76.220.18.223 (talk) 19:09, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
