Talk:Brittany York (beauty queen)

Untitled
How about a mention of Alison Armitage who was a Playboy playmate under the name Brittany York? And it has probably been a redirect before. And more, I'm wondering this Brittany York is a notable person since she is only taking part to the Miss USA within a month, this article seems to have mostly unimportant stuff. 85.217.42.224 (talk) 09:51, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

NPOV
Edits from multiple accounts (wouldn't be the same person, would it?) continue to render this a fancrufty, promotional piece. 99.12.243.70 (talk) 15:02, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Along the same lines, most of the Miss North Carolina USA section is trivia that doesn't merit mention here...as is the sourced fact that she frequently talks about her dog. The inclusion of such content is teen-mag fluff, and actually undermines the article's credibility. 99.12.243.70 (talk) 00:18, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Article and trivia
I've trimmed the article extensively to remove trivia, to make the article more encyclopedic, and to make sure it's sourced properly. If editors want to reinsert material, it should first be discussed here to achieve consensus on its inclusion.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:58, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The information that is being added in is to much detail for the article. The article should probably be trimmed more.  GB fan (talk) 18:08, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Pageants insists on restoring the article to its pre-trimmed, poorly organized, full-of-trivia state. I am reverting, but if he reverts one more time, I will report it as a 3RR violation. I'd rather avoid that, though.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:10, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Just so it's clear, even if a fact is reliably sourced doesn't mean it warrants inclusion in the article. It has to be noteworthy and relevant to the subject's notability. See, e.g., WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:NOTDIR, and WP:HTRIV. In addition, Wikipedia articles must be encyclopedic, both in style and in content. See, e.g., WP:TONE and WP:TOPIC.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:29, 28 May 2011 (UTC)


 * As my edits and discussion have made clear, I agree with Bbb23 and GB fan. To include every public utterance or promotional event in a biographical article is a misunderstanding of Wikipedia's function. To make a distinction between significant information and trivia is a necessary component of constructive copyediting. Yes, the article can be further trimmed. 76.248.149.168 (talk) 21:29, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
