– Per @Dutchy45: "Currently typing David Frost in the searchbox leads to an article about Sir David Paradine Frost because he was the best known David Frost by some distance. However, he's been dead for 7 years and David Frost, Baron Frost has become just as well known because he's the leading British Brexit negotiator." I don't really agree with this user, but it is maybe true that David P. Frost is not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. --Soumya-8974 (he) ^talk _contribs ^subpages 18:26, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose for now, Baron Frost has surged recently, but I don't think for a long enough time to switch the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC at this point. Pageviews: [[1]].--Ortizesp (talk) 19:11, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose This looks like WP:RECENTISM, given that Baron Frost is only prone to random spikes and isn't routinely overtaking the current primary topic. Even then, David Frost still has 72% of the recent pageviews. This can be revisited in a while, but the current setup remains right for now. Nohomersryan (talk) 20:04, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose This looks like WP:RECENTISM, and absolutely not P. Frost. David Frost (broadcaster) David Frost (journalist) maybe, not P. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:42, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose per Ortizesp, Nohomersryan and In ictu oculi. David Frost, the late television personality, remains the overwhelming primary topic. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 01:49, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose: Hello, good evening, and welcome. My two cents is that there is only one very famous person called David Frost, so this is who a person is most likely to be looking for when they are searching on the name. I did see David Frost, Baron Frost on the news and thought that it was interesting that he had the same name, but there is a risk of WP:RECENTISM as others have said. Also, David P. Frost is not his WP:COMMONNAME and I don't think I've ever heard this before.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:57, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose. Pageviews [2] indicate that the late Sir David is still more popular than Lord Frost. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:58, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
