It's not "The person people from Lansing searched the most." It's "the person from Lansing that people search the most". Worldwide, Larry Page is certainly more of a public figure than Magic Johnson.
Basically a show-off for BigQuery, but to answer this specific question: The most viewed Alan and Steve in Wikipedia are the ones closer to HN.
SELECT title, SUM(views) views
FROM `fh-bigquery.wikipedia_v3.pageviews_2019`
WHERE DATE(datehour) BETWEEN '2019-01-01' AND '2019-01-10'
AND wiki='en'
AND title LIKE r'Alan\_%'
GROUP BY title
ORDER BY views DESC
LIMIT 10
> The most viewed Alan and Steve in Wikipedia are the Silicon Valley ones.
You had me well baffled with this - who is the "Silicon Valley Alan"? The only candidate I could think of was Alan Kay who, with all respect, was never likely to be the most-viewed of all Alans.
(Turns out to mean Alan Turing - I don't think he had any connection with Silicon Valley)
Except that it's really "person whose Wikipedia page references Lansing searched the most," which is how you end up with Phil Knight (an Oregon native who started a company famously headquartered in Oregon, and continues to donate huge amounts of money to an Oregon university) for La Quinta, CA, a suburb of Palm Springs in which he happens to have a house.
This is HN bubble thinking.
Very few regular people know who 'Larry Page' is.
Almost everyone knows who 'Magic Johnson' is.
