Why does the information about Nick Novak's urination incident keep getting removed? It is verifiable and extremely noteworthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiHogan654 ( talk • contribs) 04:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
"According to Novak"? Ok, then why have I never heard another NFL player talk about it, and why did it get so much coverage on ESPN and the Internet? WikiHogan654 ( talk) 06:07, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
It is not undue weight. Many reliable sources thought it was notable enough to write articles about. If it was "accidentally" shot by a camera crew, it wouldn't have made it on the highlight reel on SportsCenter. WikiHogan654 ( talk) 06:47, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
I did. As I said, MANY news agencies felt this was notable. This represents all viewpoints. Nobody disagrees with what happened, and it is notable. WikiHogan654 ( talk) 22:07, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
If anything, the existing one-sentence summary misrepresents what actually happened. Novak was doing everything he could to be available for his team. (After all, do you really want your placekicker attempting a 53-yard field goal with an uncomfortably full bladder?). The existing sentence could be read to imply that he missed the kick because of the sideline activity, which is simply nonsense. Speaking as an ex-high school kicker, 53 yards is a heck of an attempt under any conditions. Let's try to behave like an encyclopedia and not The National Enquirer, and just omit the reference to urination altogether, please. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 00:19, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
You left in "has the same godmother (Dorothy Vails-Weber) as tight end Kellen Winslow II." And you left out the information about him urinating on the side lines. Difficult to make an "undue weight" arguement under those circumstances.
How is the information verified or meaningful?
