Category talk:Actors with dwarfism

Advice: Usually notable for their acting more than their dwarfism

Some advice to consider when writing articles for this category: the people in this category are notable for being actors and not directly for their dwarfism and I think the text should reflect that fact. In particular I see in several articles that the lead seems to place undue weight on their dwarfism. Write primarily about their film successes that make them notable. In some cases, it is true that the person is also notable directly for their dwarfism (like if they are among the shortest people in the world). Common sense and good judgment need to balanced these issues. Very generally, I think it makes for lower quality articles to treat their dwarfism as anything other than just part of their physical description. This is why I think we should avoid introducing them as "dwarf actors" rather than "actors" in the lead. That can read as demeaning. But I also think it'd make for an incomplete article in most cases if the reader left unaware that an actor has dwarfism, in particular, if it has aided their roles, so I am not suggesting that the subject should be taboo, just that we focus on accomplishments.
