Talk:Cian O'Connor

message: The entries for the 2010 season need a clean-up on two counts.
1. WP:NOTNEWS 
This is not a newspaper or a collection of indiscriminate facts about the subject.  Listing, in journalistic style, every event in which the subject competed detracts from the article.
2. The information presented within those news snippets is presented in a manner which appears to "spin" the report of the event rather than selecting what was notable about the season, e.g. "He was one of only 2 double clears, and bagged 60,000 for his effort." or "O'Connor and K Club Lady produced one of only 5 double clears in the Grand Prix to finish 5th and collect €9,000."
The tone of the page reads like a fanpage, or perhaps something maintained by an agent or employee of the subject, rather than a genuinely neutral article. I would leave it to someone more qualified to summarise the 2010 season in due course when it's clear what was and was not notable about O'Connor's contribution - it looks like he won a couple of competitions, but it's hard to sort the wheat from the chaff the way it's currently written.  Probably a line or two will suffice when all is said and done.

replies: text: Very much agree, but of course it's merely got far, far worse since.  There's now a 1200-word "jumping career" section with not a single source, but with lavish detail of his 11th-place finish at such-and-such a minor event.  Nothing whatsoever about the whole ABC Landliebe escapade anywhere in the article.  Fails sourcing, fails undue weight, fails encyclopaedic tone.  109.255.211.6 (talk) 13:38, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
