Kudos to Wikipedia's encyclopedic treatment of good ol' boys Bo and Luke Duke, who raced around Hazzard County one step ahead of the law in the General Lee. The Wikipedia entry for The Dukes of Hazzard TV show weighs in at more than twice the length of the entry for Duke Ellington.
Similarly, the Wikipedia entry for Madonna, the pop culture icon, beats out the entry for Madonna, the religious icon. Enough said.
Here are the word counts for some pairs of Wikipedia entries on art, music and related terms:
Duke Ellington: 3,737
The Dukes of Hazzard: 9,390
Romanticism: 3,450
Emo: 4,052
Madonna (in art): 2,022
Madonna (on stage): 10,102
