  • Comment - if you quote page view numbers, please share them. There really needs to be a policy set that nominators can't just throw around claims without any backup to them. To the point, your analysis is false. this clearly shows that

I repeat: much more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. We are not here to push an agenda. We are here to help readers find what they're looking for. Narky Blert (talk) 05:09, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
