DistroWatch != popularity 

I've reverted some of your edits regarding the creation of "Popularity" sections on distro articles using DistroWatch stats.  DistroWatch is nothing more than page hits on DistroWatch, and does not correlate to popularity.  If there are reliable sources that specifically mention a given distros popularity that's one thing, but DistroWatch doesn't.  It also seems WP:UNDUE to dedicate an entire section of each article to user-generated content. - Ghost
