Plot Summary and "Obsessed Fan" Vandalism

As in the article from slate.com, this was the longest plot summary on Wikipedia. The past few days has seen some attempts at fixing it. In order to address issue, I made a few different edits before settling on one that seemed most correct based on the root cause. The reason this plot was not concise was pointed out by Ben Blatt: as single, obsessed fan added way to much information to an irrelevant article. I would argue this is a type of vandalism. When an irrelevant movie has the longest plot summary on Wikipedia, it makes the site look bad and makes the article difficult to read.

The plot has been reverted to the state pre-"obsessed fan vandalism," which removes the negative aspects of the obsessed fan (too much plot) and keeps the positive (identification of songs from the movie). 24.3.16.236 (talk) 05:39, 28 June 2014 (UTC) perhaps I shall make an account and tackle more of these obsessed fans.[reply]

But the article is not irrelevant. -- Taku (talk) 06:19, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The article is not irrelevant; however, the plot summary is. If you read the wikipedia article How to write a plot summary, you will see that the level of detail in the current plot summary is too much. Understanding the story does not depend on ever little detail.Jabba in the pit (talk) 06:37, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
