Generally, a genuinely innovative composition will inspire others to imitate it. Of course, while imitators can be a sign of a truly innovative idea, the lack of imitators doesn't necessarily mean the idea wasn't innovative. Sometimes, works are too particular and take longer to make a measurable impact. That being said, if Debussy or Ravel are innovative composers, then the existence of composers like Antoine Mariotte is proof of their innovativeness. Also, imitation leads to innovation. Look at Debussy's early works. Faure is all over it-something to consider.
@Meadow Bridgham you are almost fully right. But I can't see any influence of Fauré in Debussy's early works, f.i. Danse bohémienne, Petite Suite, Deux Arabesques, Suite bergamasque. They are only nearer to traditional tonality, which doesn't mean near to Fauré or only as a bad copy of Fauré's harmonic complexity. Maybe you consider Fauré as synonym for traditional tonality, then you're right
