The opening paragraph of the article used to state:

Kane is regarded as one of the best players in the world and one of the best strikers of his generation.

This is still entirely supportable (arguably more so than ever given that he just placed within the top 10 at the Ballon D'Or and won multiple Europe-wide awards last season), but I understand the contentiousness of these sentences and their strange ubiquitousness. I've seen this construct removed from a few footballers' pages now, but it's very inconsistently applied. Is this some new policy? How is it to be applied? And should we be removing it from every footballer's page? What are the guidelines here?

If anything, the current lede understates Kane's level of standing within the footballing world, especially relative to other footballers who haven't had this wording extirpated. Elliott-AtomicInfinity (talk) 03:56, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For you to remove this description implies that it must be a universal rule to remove such words as "among the greatest". I would suggest using the term "among the most skilled" or "among the most successful" as alternate descriptions. Certainly, the term "the greatest" is not a term with a defined meaning.

I suspect that there will be some upset people when we remove such descriptions universally. Tennisedu (talk) 05:48, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tennisedu It is absolutely fine to use "the best" or "the greatest" if there are multiple reliable sources using that term. This is why your changes have been reverted at the Ronaldo and Messi articles, where there are such sources (the phrasing there has been the subject of much discussion as well). Equally, if you're going to change it to "most skilled" or "most successful", then you'll need to source that phrasing as well. Black Kite (talk) 09:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All terms such as "the greatest" or "the greatest in the world" have already been long since removed from other sports articles such as tennis, where there was extensive discussion about this issue a few years ago. It was determined that the term was essentially without any defined meaning and was simply a "puff" term and should not appear in the lead. For example, in the Djokovic article, the term "most successful" is used. Further, you are suggesting that footnotes be used in the lead to support this? That is another issue of contention. If the statements are supported by references in the body of the article, it is not necessary to use them in the lead. In the final analysis, we should not have a different set of rules for each sport. Tennisedu (talk) 16:01, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that using tennis as an example to change previously consensus-agreed wording in a different sport is doomed to failure. But regardless, if you can gain consensus to change the wording of such articles, then please start a discussion. Black Kite (talk) 22:26, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have already had that discussion in the tennis articles, and all references to "the greatest" have been expunged from Wikipedia tennis articles. I cannot understand why this is not already accepted for soccer articles. Sports is sports. Tennisedu (talk) 07:17, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I now see that for the baseball and the golf articles, terms such as "one of the greatest" are commonly used. It looks like tennis articles are just different.Tennisedu (talk) 09:12, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. I would again make clear though, that such wording should only be used where there are multiple reliable sources using it. Such articles are likely to be few and far between. Black Kite (talk) 12:40, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have three low-quality references attached to the puffery now, so that’s nice. Seasider53 (talk) 06:32, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Problem: There is a severe factual error in the text regarding Harry Kane's goal records and Dixie Dean's historic milestone. Please change: "He ultimately secured his second European Golden Shoe trophy, and surpassed Dixie Dean's 1927–28 English record of 60 goals in a season." To: "He ultimately secured his second European Golden Shoe trophy, and finished the season with 61 goals in all competitions." Reason for change: The current text claims Harry Kane "surpassed Dixie Dean's 1927–28 English record of 60 goals". This is factually incorrect and misrepresents the records: 1. Dixie Dean's legendary record of 60 goals in 1927–28 was achieved strictly in domestic league matches (he scored 65 in all competitions). Harry Kane did not break or surpass Dixie Dean's league record. 2. While Kane has achieved an incredible total in all competitions, comparing an all-competitions total to Dixie Dean's league-only total is factually misleading and incorrect on a biographical page. The mention of Dixie Dean's record should be removed entirely.
