Talk:Roberto Clemente

Should honors and recognitions have its own page?
This page has a serious issue of bulletlist overcrowding consistent with WP:LISTCRUFT, which is a shame, since Clemente could easily produce a FA-class article. As the athlete with most statues in the world, among several homages and even a canonization effort, it’s only natural that this section becomes cluttered very quickly. I propose the creation of a new article to deal with his legacy, whereas this one should be refocused to cover his career and personal life. Old School WWC Fan (talk) 18:53, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Given the lack of feedback, I went ahead and created a new list for the awards. I intend to purchase as many book s as possible to give this article a GA, and eventually FA, push beginning in the summer of 2023. Any help is welcome. I believe that this page can become one of the best Puerto Rico-related biographies in Wikipedia, it may even become a featured topic if some of the other associated pages are polished (another list, Roberto Clemente Award, is already “featured” class).

"Roberto Clemente Sr."
Several reliable sources list Clemente's name as Roberto Sr., which makes sense given that there's a Roberto Jr. and Roberto III now. I added this to the article, but another editor has resorted to edit warring on this point, arguing (on my talk page rather than here) that "Sr." is an English/American naming convention and that Roberto Sr.'s legal name isn't Roberto Sr. Of course, this is the English Wikipedia and no "Sr." has that as their legal name. Thoughts on whether this change should be made in the lede of the article? natemup (talk) 14:47, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't have edit rights, and not sure how to format anyway, and don't know if bills still in progress count as honors. To me, it does. Thanks. 74.69.75.10 (talk) 17:57, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
