– The BBC's Steve Rosenberg is clearly the primary topic according to pageviews, with a monthly average of ~1,862 views per month over the past five years, compared to ~119 for the baseball player. A search for "Steve Rosenberg"+"BBC" on GScholar brings up 124 hits compared to 34 hits for "Steve Rosenberg"+"baseball". No point even talking about the GNews hits which are going to be swamped by results from the BBC's interview with Lukashenko versus practically no recent coverage for the baseball player.

Of course statistics should not be the only test, so let's look at subject of each page: one is a baseball player who played in the major league for less than three years (June 1988- May 1991) and who is of low, but not non-existent notability, since the main source in the article is Baseball-Reference.com, a statistic database, with some bare mentions in newspaper sources. The only actual WP:SIGCOV is the Sun Sentinel article and the Gainesville Sun article, which are both local newspapers.

By contrast the BBC Rosenberg is a very high-profile journalist who has now been prominent for getting on 20 years, and continues to be prominent now. His coverage in reliable sources spans years, and is in national/international-level sources, and continues.

Even allowing for recentism, it is clear that the BBC Rosenberg is likely to continue to be the primary topic per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here for many more years, and as such should not be in the disambiguated page. FOARP (talk) 11:47, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

As noted by the IP editor here his birthday was announced by BBC Radio 4's Today on 5 April. They broadcast a recording of a piano piece he had specially composed, from about 08:56:11: [1]. There is record of his birth registration at FreeBMD here. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:21, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But no source currently appears in the article. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:32, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Senior high school?

Rosenberg is British. There is no such thing as "Senior high school" in the UK. Perhaps Sixth form might be more appropriate? 92.40.194.158 (talk) 21:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
