`  ==Peacock words==  WP:PEACOCK lays it out pretty clearly, and specifically mentions ``famous`` as a word to avoid.  But people seem to wish to use this word, in one particular place only, in this article.  The logic behind avoiding the word is very clear: it's subjective, and described what people might think about something rather than any objective fact about it.  What is ``famous`` to you is not ``famous`` to me, and vice versa.  So either we liberally add the word throughout every article, to describe anything that could be considered by anyone to be ``famous``, or we don't use it at all, unless it was used in a quote or other trivial exceptions.  It was decided a long, long time ago that the latter option would be better, and this was written down in the manual of style.  ``musicologist Joseph Kerman called it`` is objective, concise, and verifiable.  ``musicologist Joseph Kerman famously called it`` contains no additional information, only puffery.  Is there some reason why you think this one fact, in this one article, should be exempt from Wikipedia guidelines?    `
