Lead/stub comments.
editClovermoss, MOS:NOLEAD suggests adding section headings when the article reaches 400+ words; this is less than 300 and meeting many definitions of a stub. If the body of an article is less than two not-large paragraphs long, it probably does not need a separate lead section. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:23, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- I happen to disagree. I did read what that page says and by that criteria, I do not think this article applies. The very first sentence states
Where the article is a stub and has no section headings, a lead may not be necessary
. We have section headings and it doesn't say that you must get rid of a lead if an article is under a certain word count. I think the article is better for readers with a lead. The average person wants to know why she's important, not that she was born in Holland and has a husband. The lead summarizes these most crucial aspects of her athletic career. If you disagree with me, you can ask for a third opinion. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 16:43, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
