Talk:Petar Kočić

Ethnicity in the lead section
Hey, MOS:ETHNICITY says "Ethnicity ... should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability", but this figure is notable as an influential Serb nationalist, so it looks to me like his ethnicity does belong here. Do you still think it should go? -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 21:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, thanks for asking, I would go with "no" on your first statement, because he is primarily notable as a writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina ("LEDE"). He was born into Bosnian Serb family (Subsection, "Early life"), and his political activism is secondary to his writing. So, yeah, I do believe it should be avoided in the Lede.-- ౪ Santa ౪ 99°  21:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * His writing and political career are equally important. Kočić was a prominent Serb nationalist in Bosnia, and thus his ethnicity is notable to be included in the first paragraph. And as far as I know, there isn't a dispute regarding his ethnicity. My recommendation would be to either keep the ethnicity and nationality or to remove both entirely, but I find that both are equally important, so it is a keep from me. I've also found that academic sources tend to describe him more as "Bosnian Serb" or just "Serbian", but in my opinion, Bosnian Serb is more descriptive and correct.
