As a comparison, the logo for Freddie Mercury's birthday resulted in 1.2M Wikipedia pageviews on the day, and ~500k the day after: http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Freddie_Mercury

Jorge Luis Borges? 2.0M -- but the day after (perhaps this is a time zone thing?) http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Jorge_Luis_Borges

Those two were global doodles.

Goethe, who was given a doodle in Germany, received ~113k: http://stats.grok.se/de/201108/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe

I don't have the time to do any more, but if anyone wants to (or can think of a way to automate it), the list of Google Doodles is here: http://www.google.com/logos/index.html

(I was assuming that Wikipedia was the first result for the person's name in these cases. I also only counted en.wikipedia.org for the global doodles.)
