an article on 9 11, because there were no books out yet? We have here someone who is overwhelmingly TODAY the person that people look for when searching for that name. The same will be true tomorrow. And next week, next month, and next year. The entire exercise here is to help readers. To help them find the person they are looking for. Today. And the future. Not the person they may have been looking for at some date in the past. Why in the world would you want to muck up their ability to find that person, as quickly and with as few clicks as possible. Because only! 97 per cent are looking for the baseball player? Seriously????
481: 463: 491: 385: 367: 339: 130: 106: 395: 75: 192: 1075:- perhaps if the baseball player becomes a superstar there will be a case for him being the primary topic. But right now we are talking about a rookie baseball player versus the Secretary of State of Ohio during the Civil War, and despite the obvious recent interest in the baseball player, I don't think that at this point he can be considered the primary topic other than through 263: 236: 204: 273: 760:. Russell is the primary topic. In addition to the fact that what is pointed to -- when you read it -- has little relevance here, it is just an essay. Nothing more. I could write an essay, intended to supplement a guideline, called "when recent significance is more important than long-term insignificance." So what. An essay is just one view. 593:. The baseball player has had consistently higher page views than the other Addison Russell ever since the article was written in November 2012. So, the argument that he is the primary topic is supported by evidence and the argument that his fame is recent is weakened by consistently higher page views over more than two years. 140: 1113:
Our goal is to help readers arrive at the page they are seeking. With the fewest clicks. Why would you force 95 per cent and more of the readers to click an extra page? A full 36x as many of our readers were seeking his page, in the last 90 days, and there is no reason to expect anything different

In ictu -- are you serious??? "Encyclopedic" doesn't -- in 2015 -- meant "has to be in print sources" at any point in time. Nor do our rules suggest as much -- in fact, they suggest that non-print sources are fine; just as good as print sources. So, do you think that on 9 12, we shouldn't have had
1015:. Not if we have one clear primary topic, as here, and two people nobody has an interest in looking up. In that case, we direct Addison Russell to the primary topic. This third fellow is even less-searched-for than the other fellow who is also from the 1800s. See 880:. We don't know how significant this player will be in the long term. He was called up less than a month ago and just hit his first MLB career home run. I hope that will be just the first of many, but let's not try to predict that future. 1161:. Pageviews are not everything, but when the disparity is this large, there needs to be a very strong case for long-term significance to match the usage. That is not the case here. This move would greatly assist our readers and editors. 910:. The baseball player, in contrast, was the primary topic well before he even made the majors, getting easily 5x as many people looking for him on his worst days. The fellow born nearly two centuries ago simply isn't the person 1333: 1093:
I'm okay with converting Addison Russell to a disambiguation page rather than redirecting to the Secretary of State, but not convinced of fully moving. You can't go just by page views for primary topic.

he just got called up to the Majors, so there will definitely be a spike in accesses. This guy fails in long-term significance, as there isn't any, since he hasn't done anything yet. --
54: 1143:. He wasn't very significant back then and still got 10x as many page views as the politician. Now he is very significant and is getting 36x as many page views as the politician. 947:. Epeefleche makes a good point about page views, though. The Ohio Russell died over 100 years ago, and there's not going to be much going on with his article in the future, and 1224: 914:
