RfC: Khakis edit
- The following discussion is an archived record of a request for comment. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
I'm withdrawing this. It's now apparent that I was overvaluing the significance of those pants he was wearing. feminist (talk) | free Hong Kong 05:21, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Should Kornacki's khaki pants he wore during his election night coverage be mentioned in this article?
Survey edit
- Yes. Kornacki's khaki pants have been reported in reliable sources, such as LA Times (RSP entry) and Entertainment Weekly (RSP entry). His khaki pants helped him land on People magazine's 'Sexiest Men Alive' list in 2020, and Gap Inc. CEO Sonia Syngal attributed Kornacki to increased sales of khakis at the retailer. Clearly, this is widely reported content. feminist (talk) | free Hong Kong 04:15, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
- No. Not everything that is verified should be included in an article. This is the definition of trivia. They have no symbolism, no deeper meaning, they didn't influence the job he did or people's opinion of him. They are just pants he wore when he was on TV. Liz Read!

- No per WP:NOTNEWS. The khakis are about as notable as the necktie he wore during the election coverage. KyleJoantalk 04:57, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
- No per WP:NOTNEWS, WP:TRIVIA, and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. This material is drivel. KidAd talk 05:01, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Discussion edit
An alternative is to add a passing mention of his attire on election night in our mention of the "Sexiest Men Alive" entry. feminist (talk) | free Hong Kong 04:30, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
