IJBM: the article on "fan loyalty" on Wikipedia is mostly about sports fans

I was hoping to be able to get some more insight into fan loyalty to works and series of creative entertainment, or to their creators or publishers.  Like, what influences how long people usually stay fans of something, or how strongly they feel they are a fan of that.  Oh well, at least sports team fan loyalty research offers some insights.

    I'm guessing sports fans are more significant, considering they've done things like rioting, so naturally there will be more studies.


    That article does seem to have the issue of overly-limited scope, though. Interestingly, the article was actually rewritten from "bandwagon fan", so it was like, even worse in that regard.

    Hm, interesting. It's TVT that's supposed to pay no heed to notability, yet I've been finding Wikipedia as the sort of place where I can get info on weirdest kinds of shit. Like, you wouldn't expect to learn of Pokemon episodes or crazy theories born on the fringes of 'Net from Britannica. So, this focus on sport is a bit of a surprise to me too.
