As explained in the policy introduction, merely being true, or evenverifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. To provide encyclopedic value,data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. Wikipedia articles should not be:
- Summary-only descriptions of works. Wikipedia treats fiction in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the reception and significance of notable works in addition to a concise summary. For more information regarding plot summaries, seeWikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)#Plot summaries. Similarly, articles on works of non-fiction, including documentaries, research books and papers, religious texts, and the like, should contain more than a recap or summary of the works' contents. Such articles should be expanded to have broader coverage.
- Lyrics databases. An article about a song should provide information about authorship, date of publication, social impact, and so on. Quotations from a song should be kept to a reasonable length relative to the rest of the article, and used to facilitate discussion, or to illustrate the style; the full text can be put onWikisource and linked to from the article. Most song lyrics published after 1922 are protected by copyright, and any quotation of them must be kept to a minimum, and used for the purpose of direct commentary or to illustrate some aspect of the style. Never link to the lyrics of copyrighted songs unless the site linked to clearly has the right to distribute the work. SeeWikipedia:Do not include the full text of lengthy primary sources for full discussion.
- Excessive listings ofstatistics. Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles. In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader. In cases where this may be necessary, (e.g.Nationwide opinion polling for the United States presidential election, 2012), consider using tables to enhance the readability of lengthy data lists. Where it is not necessary, as in the main articleUnited States presidential election, 2012, omit excess statistics altogether and summarize any necessary data concisely.
- Exhaustive logs of software updates. Usereliable third-party (notself-published or official) in articles dealing with software updates to describe the versions listed or discussed in the article. Common sense must be applied with regard to the level of detail to be included.
- None of the above would seem to apply to this article, though.Bonusballs (talk)21:24, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Endless lists of presenters and television ratings and magazine shows is exactly whatWP:IINFO is designed to avoid. There's a whole section devoted to what television rights BT Sport has, despite it already being covered elsewhere.RealDealBillMcNeal (talk)00:13, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
