Hi,

I know there's been some previous debate about this before and I understand how the popularity works here (visits/votes), but would it be possible to get a real life popularity/famous meter for people?

For instance if you get the popularity of people born today you can see Charlize Theron, one of the top international actresses of the industry, in the 34th place with a 5.501. Tobin Bell goes in the 62th place.

This could be compared with the imdb birthdays list (https://www.imdb.com/search/name/?birth_monthday=08-07) and you can see Charlize on the top one and Tobin Bell in number 14.

I can't find a real usage for this data and most of the time results are showing internationally-irrelevant asian actors with a huge fanbase that are just adulterating the results:

person_id name popularity  1 153510 Marlyn Mason 11.647 174727 Lesley Nicol 11.204 122663 増岡弘 11.024 5473 Julian Wadham 10.769 6195 Harold Perrineau 10.628 1827141 David Hollander 10.293 1227552 William Stanford Davis 9.609 1241620 山本圭子 9.213 1655398 장기용 8.904 83633 吳建豪 8.811 1793046 김도윤 8.584 1149344 土屋シオン 7.876 34596 Sergio Fantoni 7.867 584482 司馬遼太郎 7.651 1224010 Jon Jon Briones 7.623 1640606 馮素波 7.557 567086 Bryan Larkin 7.300 1258590 徐榮 7.161 1215098 Mike Walling 6.991 1075789 Razane Jammal 6.832 2097910 Tony Labrusca 6.627 1219652 Mimi Paley 6.573 35710 Franco Columbu 6.477 84505 平田広明 6.356 37260 Abbie Cornish 6.073

Maybe this could be renamed to "tmdb_popularity" and then have another value more accurate for real life popularity? It would be really nice/helpful.

Thank you,
