Mention of height

There is mention of Teddy Swims' height. Does it mean he's tall, or short? It's not clear. It refers to the American game of football, in which players wear a lotvof armour. Does that mean he's tall, or is the game played better by shorter people. Clarification to its relevance is needed. Francis Hannaway (talk) 14:53, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One site states 5ft 6in (1.67 m) and another 5'11".They're not reliable, just fan sites. So, that information is a bit gosdipy anyway, so I've removed it. Francis Hannaway (talk) 08:13, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would say even if there is a reliable source, his height wouldn't be relevant to the BLP. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:39, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. With a reliable source it would be relevant in a biography if not for an objective detail. Perhaps with time there will be a direct quote in major press but agreed it should be removed for now. 142.255.77.129 (talk) 04:14, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. See WP:ONUS should you wish to make a case to include it. --CNMall41 (talk) 05:44, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not relevant unless it's explained why his height influenced his decision to sing rather than play a sport. Everyone in the world would understand the relevance ifvit was basketball that was being discussed. American football doesn't shout out tall or short to me, and, internationally, such a minority spirt needs some explanation. Francis Hannaway (talk) 15:40, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a further reference to his size on choosing his name. It's still not clear if he's 6'6" or 4'11¾".Francis Hannaway (talk) 12:06, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline

The timeline is confusing, especially the 2019 section. It talks about things happening in particular months and then jumps ahead to January 2024, and then goes back to mentioning December. As the reader that sounds like it's moved on to December of 2024 which clearly is in the future. The information about 2024 should move to a different section and reword the information about December 2019. FinalNemesis (talk) 13:09, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
