I agree, although these articles are so
lightly viewed that it makes little to no difference (which is why I'm not outright opposed). The fact that no one has even bothered to bluelink
James Dooley (American politician), even as a redirect to a dab page, means no one is looking for either man under that title (partly because James H. Dooley is perhaps not primarily a politician). Even the broader
James Dooley (politician) redirect gets hardly any views. And now that this article has a hatnote, it's no longer incompletely disambiguated. Qualifying titles is only one method of disambiguating. Although the current title by itself is technically incomplete disambiguation (assuming James Monaghan Dooley is ever referred to as simply James Dooley), the hatnote completes the job, allowing the reader to get to the only other possibility at least as quickly and easily as they would if they had to find their target on a dab page.

James H. Dooley was indeed known for various judicial, business and philanthropic activities that were notable 150 years ago, but had he not served three terms in the
Virginia House of Delegates, the eligibility of his Wikipedia article might have been challenged.
Similarly, although the main title header of the later American legislator's entry is
James Dooley (Rhode Island politician), the lead sentence is, "James E. Dooley (1886–1960) was a leading sports figure in
Rhode Island." Indeed, it is not until the article's third paragraph that we learn, "Judge Dooley was a member of the
Rhode Island General Assembly." Again, however, had he not served in the Assembly, his part-ownership of sports teams, a hundred years ago, might not have been sufficient for article notability. —
