See the wiki <http://wiki.freebase.com/wiki/Commons_schema_development>
for some thoughts.

Some more thoughts:

* Most importantly: general agreement among the community that the type
  would be a valuable addition to the Commons.
* Well designed: makes appropriate use of links, CVTs, etc
  (/base/popstra/celebrity/famous_for, I'm looking at you here)
* Stable: not going to change in any ways that will break queries
* Documented: every type and property _must_ be documented
* Naming conventions: http://wiki.freebase.com/wiki/Naming_conventions

To be honest, I don't think Popstra meets any of those criteria right
now.

Cheers,

Phil
