This seems to be what I would think too. I like the thing about solving the venues problem, with the main Olympic stadia (usually only 1 or 2 per games) as mid and everything else as low. As far as people, I'm really not sure how we should do this. What I would say is any non-medal winner should be low, and medal winners, depending on their status and recognition should rank anywhere from high to mid, possibly low. I'm not really sure. Just a suggestion. └Jared┘┌talk┐20:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Personally i'd say "most gold medal winners" probably still would be low importance. My thinking would be that the higher the number of readers an article is likely to get the greater importance we should give it but that will introduce a huge bias towards English speaking/Anglophile nations - Basement12(T.C)04:04, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think importance should be equated with popularity in any significant way. Of course there is some correlation, but its probably not helpful to write the association into the "rules." As far as gold medal winners goes, it does seem to be the case they the majority of gold medal winners are currently rated "mid" ... it should probably be limited to just individual event medalists for the "automatic" mid classification though. I don't think every member of Germany's 2008 Men's Field Hockey team should be mid importance, for example. --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:25, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
