Lead too long

I understand, it is indeed a long article, warranting a long lede. However, there must be still some extent to the length of the lede. In this case, the lead section is longer than it should be. Take for example, the Michael Jackson page. (Which i am using for comparison for it is a FA) It's size is about twice as large as this article, but its lede is definitely shorter. I'm very sure some stuff currently (such as maybe the long-winded history) in the lede is not needed or can be less detailed. Leave the juicy "meat" for the body, not the lede.

Why don't you work on a draft lead section that we can discuss, then? — Cheers, JackLee talk 11:40, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Good idea! But while I'm working on that, would it be alright to put a "lead too long" template? Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 11:47, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
I'd rather you didn't. It serves no real purpose. — Cheers, JackLee talk 12:05, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Quite true... Then why'd they come up with this template? Bonkers The Clown (Nonsensical Babble) 12:10, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
My suspicion is that it's for lazy editors who do drive-by tagging but don't actually want to bother with improving articles. — Cheers, JackLee talk 13:25, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
