If I had the choice of evaluating a subject I would definitely choose TV sitcoms. Several criteria needed to evaluate this subject would include the shows influence on pop culture, its ratings, reviews, and duration. Obviously the more influential the show is the more popular it becomes. The ratings and reviews give incite to how well the scripts are developed, how cohesive the plot is, and how pertinent the series is towards modern affairs. A sitcom does not have to have many seasons to be influential but history demonstrates that the best and most influential TV sitcoms (such as Friends or The Simpsons) do stay on air for many years.
A subject that I would need to research to evaluate would be Navajo rugs. Some key points that I would look for would be their origin, their influence on Navajo culture, how they are made (can they be made easily or do they take many years of practice), what are they made of, and what designs are weaved onto them and why. Areas I would research to find suitable criteria would be Navajo sites, museums, and actual Navajo Indians. To obtain the best evaluation I would have to take a personal interest in the subject but, unfortunately, I do not find the material very interesting.

Navajo rugs I would need to look up as well. It isn't something you hear about everyday.
Although I agree with most of your criteria, I feel as if you’re mixing up popular and influential on a few occasions. Popular does not equal influential and influential does not equal popular. There can be a correlation between the two as you stated, but that is not always the case. Take Friends for example. The show was indeed popular, but it wasn’t really the most influential show out there when compared to many other long running shows. It was simply entertaining. Maybe you’re thinking of a different interpretation of influential than I am, but that’s how I see it in any case.
