 * Popularity isn't a factor. We're writing a verifiable encyclopaedia here.  Whether things are popular or unpopular is irrelevant.  Things have to be properly documented parts of the corpus of human knowledge.  So please show where this subject has been documented by people independent of its creator(s).  Sources! Sources! Sources! Uncle G (talk) 13:46, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
