Requested move

Sam Sloan (chess player)Sam Sloan – No need for disambiguation in the title. There are no other articles on WP with "Sam Sloan" in the title, and there is a hatnote at the top of the page that links to the Samuel Sloan dab page. Currently, pages cannot be manually moved to Sam Sloan, as it redirects to the aforementioned dab page.JayJasper (talk) 17:06, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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]

Support No other article named Sam Sloan, no need for disambiguation. CanuckMy page89 (talk), 06:24, 29 January 2012 (UTC) Support - Rachitrali (talk) 07:58, 16 June 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]
