There is currently no consensus on whether there is a primary topic for "Bill O'Reilly". Those who support having the American political commentator as the primary topic cite recent traffic statistics. Those who oppose a move argue that these statistics are heavily skewed due to recentism; the cricket Hall of Famer has roughly the same long-term, historical importance or significance as that of the political commentator.
