The original 5 were great, but really, it's gone down hill from there. Notability isn't a standard any more, it's a leaderboard. All these new notables are bringing the side down.

Maybe if you voted for people who are actually notable and not treat it like the popularity contest that it has turned in to?

I have, just I never really read the appendix much. I didn't think it was right, but then again, do I care much in this context?

No.

No really, popularity is very different. Plenty of people on here have been more popular than the big 5 and never become notable. Notability should be about good writing and moderate intelligence, not who you like the most. They are called notable because you should sit up and listen to what they have to say for christ's sake!

Any voting system is just a popularity contest.
You voted in your first notable because you respected them and becaue you liked them.
That's almost the definition of a popularity contest.

You do realise you've crushed the dreams of 10,000 teenage boys who were awating the day Lara would get her funbags out.
