Injuries[edit]

I removed the injuries because that doesn’t really need to be talked about in an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Masai giraffe (talk • contribs) 20:18, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a very reasonable thing to include. It's sourced and a part of his career. What reason is there to not include it? --Onorem (talk) 19:05, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When we are talking about someone’s career, in my opinion it’s not 100 percent necessary to add something like that in encyclopedia that’s about them, most biographies don’t even mention falls so yes the happen but I think it should be about them.

They happen I meant to say. Masai Giraffe (talk) 23:58, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Injuries are highly relevant to the careers of sportspeople. You don't get to remove things because you don't like them. The final warning you've been given regarding the removal of well-sourced contente applies to this article as well. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:05, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
