Fandom Size Labels on this Timeline

Hello! I'm new to Fanlore and I do want to discuss updating the figure skating portions of this page. However, one question I had involves multiple fandoms mentioned on this page. For example, this sentence on FS RPF in the 1990s (like several others) contains a bolded relative size label at its end: "around since at least the 90s, the 2010 winter Olympics led to an upsurge in interest in the fandom. Works focused on Johnny Weir, Evan Lysacek, Stéphane Lambiel, and Evgeni Plushenko began to appear in larger numbers. Small". Seeing this makes me wonder about all the bolded size labels used on this page. Should we get rid of them in favor of discussions of shrinking/growth in each fandom as relevant in defferent decades? There doesn't seem to be a hard number definition for these labels, and fandoms can grow and/or shrink over time. --WhitedSepu (talk) 23:16, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
