Fame [gradable]
An Entity is well-known among a wide range of people (in general or in a particular domain) for a particular Reason, which may be a behavior, characteristic, or some other associated item. In the case of events, fame entails a large number of people being aware of the event's occurence; in the case of concrete entities, including humans, fame entails awareness of existence. In both cases, often fame is accompanied by awareness of the Entity's significance in historical, cultural, or social contexts.
