WP:TRIVIA in §List of Eurocons?[edit]

Hi @I'llbeyourbeach:!

In september, you added {{importance section}}, which claims "This section contains information of unclear or questionable importance or relevance to the article's subject matter."

The table in that section contains the following fields:

Year
City
Country
Guests of honor

Which of these columns is, in your opinion, of "unclear" or "questionable" importance (or relevance)?

Most people would say that these are the most important and relevant information you can list about a convention, but I am interested in your point of view on the subject. Also, the views of anyone else, of course.

The table, as you correctly point out, might contain amongst the most important and relevant information to the topic. It, if there are references in this article at all, however does not contain references inline.

The information present beneath the table in the same section is the worst offender against, as that template's page says, "[being] of encyclopedic merit and both relevant to the topic of the article and non-trivial".

Without citations, simply assuming the same may seem unfair; I hope you'd agree that on a cursory glance—even assuming all that information is factual—it is characteristically WP:TRIVIA. —I'llbeyourbeach (talk) 21:10, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see. The second part is a list of awards year by year. It would really belong to the European SF Awards page. As you can see, it is exactly the kind of details which would be relevant and necessary in that page. Unfortunately, that page was deleted recommending a merge with this page. So, we now have to host it here. Unless you want to split this page and European SF Awards again, which I would support.

P.S. I split the two blocks of information for further clarity, and also moved your template to the relevant section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lou Crazy (talk • contribs) 11:44, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
