I do not understand this overindulgence with the details. The point is Anna Nicole Smith was given more coverage than it was worth by FAR.
Depends on how you're measuring "worth", I'd say.
That is why the amount of News coverage is not parallel with notability. They may be parallel but that is not the rule.
I don't think the concept of "notability" fits well on a sliding scale, and to the limited extent it does, yes, amount of news coverage doesn't parallel it.
I more think in terms of "notable enough" or "not notable enough", and something which has received ongoing news coverage for an extended period of time generally falls under "notable enough".
I would appreciate if you focused on the "spirit" of the rationale rather than every minor detail. Examples I use are merely for illustration and not intended to be encyclopedic. :P
Sorry. The example you gave just seemed to be so patently untrue. At first I ignored the example, and someone else pointed out that it was probably false, then you repeated it, and I mentioned that it seemed false, and then you repeated it again and we got into this discussion.
