808:: This is just a list; is it encyclopaedically useful? I think not: "order of magnitude" lists for length or mass help readers put units in context with familiar objects (grains of sand, stars, etc). But this list has essentially nothing with any psychological reality: knowing that a quasar is equivalent to 10^43 fireflies is not an illuminating (sorry) comparison. And about 40% of the list is just various sizes of lightbulb. I think that a much shorter list (perhaps including fireflies and quasars) would be useful in the context of an article on luminance, but a separate list is not justified. 676: 697:: On the contrary, it makes very good sense to consider these separately. Any AfD for the whole lot would never succeed, because among the fluff there is bound to be something which the "Rescue Squad" could turn into an argument. What is the point of adding this comment to a number of these AfD discussions? Do you think this "article" is useful or not? 262:
and is comprised of noble-synthesis of data. And, if someone do manage to find such trivial list(s) in high-school/undergrad science text-book (which often have them to provide an indicative idea of the vastness of the real range of a physical quantity), we are not one.We are an encyclopedia.
