Psy is in 97 Wikipedias. ROSÉ of BLACKPINK is in 86, and half of Korean entertainers are in one

The twenty most-covered

⚠ The panel is selected on Wikidata occupations, so a few people who are not entertainers come with it. We name them rather than dropping them quietly: Yun Hyon-seok is a poet and activist, not an entertainer; Kim Ki-duk is a film director.

Where everyone else sits

The thresholds are ours. We report "at least n editions" rather than a mean, because the distribution is almost entirely at the bottom.

365 people have zero. A person with zero editions has a Wikidata item and no article anywhere. That is not a person who does not exist; it is a person no edition has written up yet. They stay in the denominator for that reason — dropping them would turn 9,249 into 8,884 and quietly raise every share on this page.

The obvious objection, tested

Psy's song is from 2012. Editors have had fourteen years to write him up, and Jennie's Wikidata item has had rather fewer. If coverage were mostly a function of time, the oldest people in the panel would be the widest.

They are the narrowest. The oldest cohorts are the narrowest, not the widest, so the spread is not an artefact of editors having had longer to write the articles. The widest cohort is the one born in the 1990s at 7.4%, against 1.8% for the widest cohort born before 1970. Psy is an outlier inside a thinner generation, not a beneficiary of one.

We ran this control because we had just been caught by the same mechanism going the other way: a 69% fall in new Korean groups that turned out to be how fast the source records them, not how many there were.

What this page cannot tell you

Not popularity. This counts articles, not listeners, viewers or ticket sales.

Not which language. An edition count does not say which editions, only how many.

Not a clean panel. Wikidata occupations bring a poet and a film director into a list of entertainers, and we name them rather than hiding the edit.

Limits — A median tells you where the middle sits and nothing about the shape around it, so it should be read next to the range or the full distribution, not alone. A sitelink count is encyclopaedia coverage, not popularity and not income: it says how many editions wrote an article, which depends on who edits those editions. The panel comes from Wikidata occupations and carries a few people who are not entertainers, named on this page. And a person with no article anywhere still has a Wikidata item, so a zero here is a gap in coverage rather than a fact about the person.
