One extant article (Lawrence R. Jacobs, a political scientist), but the director is mentioned at multiple articles, including the linked Cyberchase, so I don't think it qualifies for G14. Is Lawrence Jacobs, a lawyer and executive, likely to be known by this name? –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 00:08, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Interested in this one. I feel like it could end either with the disambig being deleted or with Jacobs-the-director usurping it as his currently-nonexistent article. I do intuitively feel like this should be G14-eligible. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 03:18, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Lawrence R. Jacobs, G14 sounds good. I'll bite. Some Googling suggests that "Larry Jacobs" does often refer to Lawrence R. Jacobs, whereas Lawrence Jacobs (who you'll note already snagged WP:PTOPIC for the middle-initial-less "Lawrence Jacobs") goes by "Lon Jacobs", and is not commonly referred to as "Larry Jacobs", as our article Lawrence Jacobs says. However I suspect that Larry Jacobs will be back to being a disambiguation soon enough. Dang that was confusing to write. - Astrophobe (talk) 03:51, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And at a minimum many of those entries are WP:PARTIAL matches that need to be removed - Astrophobe (talk) 03:53, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
