Talk:Stephen Lee (snooker player)

message: I removed some stuff about opening an obscure snooker club. Professional sportsmen do this sort of think all the time. If you really think it's notable, create a new article for it. --Auximines 23:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't really work that way.  See WP:MERGE; it is specifically advised that things not notable enough for their own article be merged into or mentioned in other more notable articles.  In this particular case, however you are right - the snooker club in question isn't one that he owns or founded, all he did was do a celebrity opening ceremony for it, a local town council-built civic center.  It isn't even notable enough to be mentioned here.  Anyway, I just wanted to address the idea that nothing can be mentioned in an article unless it already has its own article. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont]   ‹(-¿-)› 19:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I've made some tidy-ups to this; got rid of some non-encyclopedic stuff (hairstyles anyone?) updated the references and specified where his high break came from. Ged UK (talk) 23:15, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Betty, you edit snooker articles much more than I do, and I was intending to unwatch this page anyway, but I have to say it reads a bit like "X is an imprisoned dictator whose charismatic speaking style has been described as among the most hypnotic of all time".

replies: text: I've restructured some of the lede but I don't agree we need to provide a timeframe in the opening sentence since we have a whole paragraph chronicling the match-fixing and ban. We just need a simple statement of fact for the opening sentence. Betty Logan (talk) 18:03, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

message: In the "Personal Life" section, there's a sentence about his weight and his attempts to control it. I don't see, even in a personal life section, how this is relevant to a page about a snooker professional. I suggest the objective test is whether there is significant presence in articles of good quality about other atheletes' appearance that have no relevance to their athletic performance.  --Atkinson (talk) 16:26, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Physical fitness is important in sporting life. The fact is a prominent journalist (Clive Everton) has addressed the issue in a respectable newspaper and Lee himself has publicly discussed the issue, so I would suggest the subject carries enough, erm, WP:WEIGHT for inclusion. Betty Logan (talk) 16:55, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:NPOV: Removing the information about his weight would be an example of editorial bias because it would mean removing significant information that has been published by a reliable source on the topic. In any case, I'd say that the Guardian article broaches the subject sensibly and in a positive light, attesting that his snooker success (as of Jan 2008) "provided encouragement to those who believe that significant success at snooker is compatible with possessing a fuller figure".
