Undue weight to single incident
[edit]The obsessive details about the killing of Cecil are FAR out of proportion to its importance to the subject of this article, the national park. It also is full of inappropriate editorializing about living people. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 11:57, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
- @TheRedPenOfDoom: To be fair, the story has been picked up by every single major newspaper in the world. It is no longer a single incident but symbolic. I would even argue that Cecils story deserves its own page, so the comments about the media coverage are less out of place (than on this page). --Tobias1984 (talk) 12:12, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
- typical WP:RECENTISM and exactly what are these stories saying about the subject of this article, the national park????? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:15, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
- @TheRedPenOfDoom: That is why I said that it would be better to make a separate page for Cecil (lion). The redirect is not a good idea and invites these divergences from the main subject. Also: Calling things "typical WP:RECENTISM" has never helped a discussion. --Tobias1984 (talk) 12:22, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
- if "Calling things 'typical WP:RECENTISM' has never helped a discussion." it is because the people pushing the recentism fail to read, understand and follow the policy. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:37, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
