Yeah, I really don't get what the definition is really about. Based on the examples I see, it doesn't seem to go beyond "Works/Media that is popular", (or maybe not even then, considering that many of the listed works is not even popular enough to have a Wiki page here). Almost ALL of the examples are Zero Context Examples.
Personally, I think this sort of page shouldn't have any work examples to begin with, since it's probably going to fall victim to Gushing About Shows You Like.

Well, when the examples includes Bleach and DeathNote, it's kinda hard to tell
According to the people who add examples to the page, any anime would be a Cult Classic outside Japan. It lists pretty much anything that isn't mainstream currently and that someone thought to add.

Check out my fanfiction!To me it almost means "known mainly thanks to a Vocal Minority".
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
That was what I got from the page's definition as well - which, by the way, is overly long-winded and full of ramblings.
The examples seem to differ however, in that they include popular works which clearly has a large fanbase, such as Bleach and Death Note I've mentioned earlier

The page for it
on The Other Wiki might be illuminating.
Perhaps making the page free of examples and leaving it as just a fandom term is in order?

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.Yeah, sounds right.

Cult Classic, is a bad way. Not only has it become a catch with pretty much anything and everything listed, but it suffers badly from Zero Content Example
