Malcolm M. Lucas → Malcolm Lucas – Subject is not universally known by a name including his middle initial (see both obituaries cited in the article); "Malcolm Lucas" is currently occupied by a WP:TWODABS disambiguation page, for which the other entry, "Mal Lucas", is for a person rarely referred to as "Malcolm" at all. Between the two, a former Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court would seem to be the clear primary topic over a fairly random footballer. The judge also pulls more than five times as many pageviews as the footballer, which could make the case even if the footballer was known as "Malcolm". bd2412 T 01:57, 16 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Support. The judge appears to be the primary topic. As it is, every reader seeking information on either individual will need to click twice, first to the dab page, then to the specific article. If corrected, the majority who are looking for info on the judge will get there in one click; and with a hatnote, the few looking for the football player still get there in two clicks.
