Line 97:

* Even more: If you exclude [[WP:redirect]]s the LOTR list reduces to 191, the SSA to 21,050, outnumbering the LOTR by more than 100.

* Commentry: KingCantona says it best at [http://www.rollonfriday.com/Discussion/MainDiscussion/tabid/79/Id/10382711/currentPage/0/Default.aspx Rollonfriday.com] "[[One does not simply walk into Mordor|One does not simply]] write an article about Sub-Saharan Africa".

==A zillion times more articles on 21st century porn stars outnumber those on 21st century women writers==

"[R]ight now, I suspect articles on 21st century porn stars outnumber those on 21st century women writers by a factor of a zillion to one" {{Break}}

* Source: [[Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gender_Gap_Task_Force/Evidence]] - [[User:Montanabw]]

* Verdict: False. Even if we ignore the "zillion".

* Reason: We have 822 members of [[:Category:21st-century women writers]] and 733 living or recently dead members of [[:Category:21st-century women writers]] (including 4 levels of sub-cats) - so some 1555 entries - these categories don't tell the whole story, though, taking out duplicates and adding in other women writers who lived past 2000 (for example [[Delia Sherman]]) and are not in these categories we get 11,620. [[List of pornographic actresses by decade]] lists 30 actresses in the 2000's and 18 in the 2010s, giving a total of 48 articles, however this list was eviscerated recently. The entire category [[:Category:Pornographic film actors]], including subcategories to a depth of 4 has only 1409 articles about actors (male and female), of whom at most 1353 were alive during the 21st century. Even ignoring the "zillion" and counting male pornographic actors (and not just "stars") we have eight times more 21st century women writers than 21st century porn stars
