  • Support the footballer has 590 views, the composer has 177 and the judge has 104 compared with only 323 for this one. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:17, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose The footballer is not that distinguished, despite his page views, whereas the philosopher warrants mention at Age of Enlightenment. The footballer is already a former player and his views will likely decline, perhaps precipitously. Once this athletic flash-in-the-pan passes his cultural "best before" date (and his page views hurtle toward cruel, forgetful world), the philosopher has more mentions than the other two combined. Metrics can sometimes be a good guide, unless they become The Tyranny of Metrics (2019) as documented by Jerry Muller. — MaxEnt 01:38, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
