In my opinion, merited post with substantial information always depend on the taste of user some dont like it but others do so its not always the same. Especially when the one writing it is highly fluent into writing.
This is also what I think about someone giving a post a merit or two — that every member has their own basis or own criteria of giving a merit. I can't really say what it is in particular on my part. But if I totally agree with it or it was able to make me believe on what he/she said, or if I was merely impressed, then +1 (or more) with that.
But, OP, that's a good list. Considering that your source is your time and your mind, that's great and shows effort. Just continue with that and good luck.
