Honestly, it doesn't really matter in my opinon.

Let's put it this way. So you're comparing Talin with Pylion based on how often it was used. The viewers who are aware of mapping would probably know Pylion was added based on request while a majority would not. For example, 10000 people watch all the mapping videos on youtube, what are they going see often is what they are going see as popular. (This is my argument against Starring). Starring, you may not find that as popular, but the 10000 people may think it is popular because of how often it's used and no one knows that it was requested unless they read the comments or look for the location of the request.

Back to the topic, everything is going loose popularity at some point, while some may be forever such as History. Think about Mario, and Sonic to compete against it. Think about WIndows XP and now Windows 10(or Windows 8.1). Think about Harlem Shake vs Gangnam Style. In business, there are things that become obselete because a better product has replaced it, this relates back to Windows XP vs Windows 8.1. Some may still enjoy Windows XP while the other would enjoy the most recent update.

Now let's get to the point. I don't see why you should be concerned because if there is a rule that says "you cannot request for nations to be added in a series unless the creator is requesting for nations to be added(similar to my frozen series)", it doesn't help at all. Some users who have no idea there is wiki would request for a popular nation like Pylion without notice based on the numerous amount of mapping videos they watched. This applies to Talin as well. What is the creator going do? Not add it? So what if it surpasses Talin? Both will be popular and both is going compete, am I right? Like Harlem Shake and Gangnam style. If you noticed Talin is loosing popularity, then you need some strategy to maintain it, or else it'll end up like Windows XP or some IBM stuff.

Also it's not like Asdf is the only one doing it. When I first started uploading AFOE series, I saw your comment "Add Talin" and then you removed it. Then I didn't realize that was such as big thing for people, because you weren't the only one requesting for nations. That's why I started the frozen series. If something is going get popular, only effort can be put in it whether you like the effort or not. I believe that is what Asdf is trying to get at, many people have different ways. To add on, someone named Fedex Mapper asked for nations to be adding. i said Triton, okay Triton is added all the sudden. Then later, I didn't even notice, but Fedex decides to add Viperia without asking at all. So therefore a mapmaker can also use other nations without asking and not be aware there was  a wiki at all. Why do you think there's youtube only users? (Not saying Fedex doesn't know about the wiki)

If something is discouraging you from being popular because another popular is about to overtake you, then you're thinking the wrong way.No matter what in life, there's going be someone better than you and someone better than the better.
