I don't think this article is necessarily biased, but a lot of it reads like it is a press release from the Ambassador's office. I was wondering if other people felt the same way. Dhawk790 (talk) 13:28, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should the article list his speeches? Worldbruce (talk) 04:33, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• No. The over 200 speeches listed are excessive detail that goes against Wikipedia's inclusion policy. Wikipedia is neither a repository of links to primary sources, nor an indiscriminate list without explanatory context. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:38, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• No, and I think the policy as explained in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not is clearly applicable in this case such that an RfC is probably unnecessary. I would say you or another editor have solid grounds to be bold and remove most (if not all; I am unfamiliar with the content itself) of them from the article, barring coverage of any given speech as particularly noteworthy/salient.

• No - this article should not include comprehensive lists of speeches the subject has made. The speeches are one, of many, sub-topics that are relevant to the subject and as such they should be developed in sections, to summarize the key points to give a concise overview. If the sub-topic is notable, in its own right, a separate article or list may be appropriate, and there you can extend the details more fully. See Wikipedia:Summary style; paying particular attention to: §§ Article size, Levels of detail, and Non-notable topics and relocating material. Best regards.--John Cline (talk) 02:48, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• No - It would be an excessive amount of information that will end up taking up most of the article. Not saying speeches weren't relevant to his career, but I fail to see how listing every single one would make the article better. PraiseVivec (talk) 17:28, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• No, let's let sources decide which are worth listing by only including those covered by independent sources. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:56, 28 March 2022 (UTC) (Summoned by bot)[reply]
