- This article is nothing but an extended definition. It might be appropriate for the Wiktionary, but not for the Wikipedia.Leland 23:06, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
- It looks fine to me. It includes more than just a definition. ☞spencer195 23:09, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. The social phenomenon of "popularity" is of widespread interest and has almost certainly been the subject of academic study. -- Seth Ilys 06:32, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
- If no one can cite one of these academic studies, I'd say it's a pointless entry. Leland 12:42, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
- I say let it go. After giving a wide open definition of popularity as many people liking an “entity/object,” it goes with what look like personal observations on popularity, but only as it applies to people and not other “entities/objects.” Seems a bit trivial. Nathan 13:19, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. It's already more then a definition and has the potential to be expanded into a fuller article. Add a stub message if you'd like, but keep. --Starx 04:52, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. It has promise. -- Stevietheman 00:57, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
