Brendan Rodgers

Hi, Could you explain why you reverted my edit removing that Brendan Rodgers had Covid once, please? How long it's been in the article doesn't make it not trivial. Most of the population have had Covid before, whilst it might have been of minor interest in 2020, it's not WP:NOTABLE anymore. Thanks. LicenceToCrenellate (talk) 19:06, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's covered in multiple reliable sources. The same cannot be said for "most of the population". Also notability is not temporary. Giant Snowman 19:07, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What does multiple sources have to do with it not being trivia? BLP articles aren't usually full of whatever minor illnesses people have had once. I'd understand it being in an article if it had left the sufferer with chronic side effects or led to their death.

81.7% of people have had Covid since Nov 2022, according to the ONS, it's not rare or unusual. LicenceToCrenellate (talk) 07:35, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Again, it was reported in multiple reliable sources at the time. Giant Snowman 19:07, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I believe GS is referring to WP:DUE. Robby.is.on (talk) 23:19, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I'll ask you how it being in multiple sources makes it automatically noteworthy or not trivia? This isn't an illness that has had some lasting or serious impact to the subject - I'd agree with you including it if it had.

I'm not going to get into an edit war over this, but you've yet to provide a convincing response to any of my points. LicenceToCrenellate (talk) 08:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As Robby suggests, see WP:DUE. Giant Snowman 08:10, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
