Talk:Roberto Carlos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Is disambiguation really necessary?
Looking at the links to this page all but 2 are football related. Furthermore, there's currently 116 links to Roberto Carlos da Silva compared to 24 to Roberto Carlos (singer). Finally, a Google search for "Robert Carlos" football yields 2,950,000 results [1] while "Roberto Carlos" MPB only yields 182,000 [2]. I can't help but wonder on what basis some editors are deciding that the two names are equally (or near equally) expected by users searching for, or editors linking to, "Roberto Carlos". --Daduzi talk 00:19, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Then search in Portuguese. I googled for "Roberto Carlos" and, from the first 10 results, 8 were about the singer. Here in Brazil, he is far more famous than the football player; mention the name without a sports context, and pretty much anyone will think of the singer. - Stormwatch 18:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
