Career stats

Any idea what the 'League Cup' column represents? Usually, this is used for the EFL Cup, but he hasn't played in England. If it's the Coupe de France, then these are already included in the 'Cup' column. If it's something else, then it needs a source and a note as it doesn't appear to be on Soccerway (also, the goals in the total don't match the season stats).

Barcelona or Roma

Where did Malcom go to exactly because it says "plays for Italian club Barcelona" is this joking about the transfer or just confused DragonMarking (talk) 21:38, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Malcom (footballer) → Malcom – Is anyone else called Malcom? Unreal7 (talk) 23:18, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The Malcolm disambiguation page also lists Malcom, Iowa, Writ of assistance#Malcom Affair and Malcom Bridge Middle School. Also, a number of entries carry the given name Malcom — Malcom Brown, Malcom Floyd, Malcom Glenn, Malcom McLean, Malcom Mussen Lamoh, etc. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:05, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and speedy close assume nom in good faith failed to read target dab page. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:39, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Roman Spinner. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:16, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Roman Spinner too.8Dodo8 (talk · contribs) 10:48, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
He is probably the primary topic for the term "Malcom", but it's a bit too soon. This article had 113,000 views in one day, I imagine this would be a no-brainer in a year or so, —Xezbeth (talk) 12:04, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Roman Spinner. No primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:33, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Malcom is too common. Single name may not work. This is similar to Prince (musician). Kraose (talk) 15:45, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now. The footballer is primary topic if just based on number of page views, even before the last few days, but Malcolm (given name), of which this is an alternative spelling, has more long term notability. Peter James (talk) 17:09, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The Malcom redirect averaged only 7 views per day last year [1], so didn't matter that much, but has shot up to over a thousand yesterday [2]. All those people want the footballer but we're sending them to a dab page instead for no good reason. Station1 (talk) 18:48, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - things are shooting up right now but that's because of his transfer to Barcelona. He might not even stay this famous, look at another Brazilian with a quaint Scottish name who joined Barcelona. Harambe Walks (talk) 13:02, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too early to tell. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 16:25, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
