Peacock words  WPPEACOCK lays it out pretty clearly and specifically mentions famous as a word to avoid  But people seem to wish to use this word in one particular place only in this article  The logic behind avoiding the word is very clear its subjective and described what people might think about something rather than any objective fact about it  What is famous to you is not famous to me and vice versa  So either we liberally add the word throughout every article to describe anything that could be considered by anyone to be famous or we dont use it at all unless it was used in a quote or other trivial exceptions  It was decided a long long time ago that the latter option would be better and this was written down in the manual of style  musicologist Joseph Kerman called it is objective concise and verifiable  musicologist Joseph Kerman famously called it contains no additional information only puffery  Is there some reason why you think this one fact in this one article should be exempt from Wikipedia guidelines
