Thai pronunciation audio

pinging @Patsagorn Y. and @咽頭べさ as Thai speakers who have contributed to Lingua Libre in order to ask for pronunciations of the relevant Thai terms in this article. I don't like the current audio as it extracted from another video and has music in the background (not to shame the uploader! I got what I asked for!). better quality audios would be appreciated.

Terms needing audio:

หมูเด้ง
โจนา
โทนี่
หมูตุ๋น
หมูหวาน

please make sure to double-check these to see if they are correct, cheers! Juwan (talk) 20:40, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive detail in family tree/name dropping

I attempted to make this edit, complete with explanation in the edit summary and was reverted without any real rationale, just a request to explain my edits (??). So I figured I'd open it up for further discussion regardless.

This all strikes me as excessive detail for an encyclopedic article. Yes, Moo Deng is wildly popular. But all these family members - parents, siblings, half-siblings - not so much. None of them have any importance in relation to Moo Deng's notability or popularity, much less how old they are or who their parents are. If they're not notable in any capacity on their own, and they don't contribute to Moo Deng's notability, the info is excessive - its WP:CRUFT, WP:TRIVIA, etc. Sergecross73 msg me 18:49, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I don't think her entire family should be included. Di (they-them) (talk) 22:17, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moo Deng's family has also received media attention. The material is sourced. I don't see why it cannot be included in the article. Khiikiat (talk) 22:22, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
