Whole encyclopaedic content

[edit]

@Nascar9919 reverted an entry that briefly specified misconceptions around a phrase used in the song, namely "Avada Kedavra". Their reasoning was that the passage was "not particularly important to [the] article". I find this reasoning suspect, primarily because information does not come with a relevance requirement - only a requirement that it be linked in some way to the article. Since the linguistics community has long debated the source of "Abracadabra", the term upon which the fictional "Avada Kedavra" is based, there is a significant amount of information on the subject - thus it is appropriate to link this information and present it wherever a related subject is mentioned.

There is also the manner in which the information is initially presented. The passage "The song's lyrics feature numerous 'spells', including the incantation 'Avada Kedavra', a phrase popularised by the Harry Potter franchise..." presents the phrase as genuine, real, and uncontroversially accepted as legitimate. In fact, it is anything but - hence, the passage could be construed as knowingly presenting false information. Since this is not expanded on within the linked article (being "Magic in Harry Potter"), a reader may never realise that the phrase is entirely fictional. This is particularly important for younger readers, or readers who speak English as a second language or who have translated the article.

I strongly advocate for the restoration of at least some mention that the phrase is related to a linguistics controversy, otherwise it can be considered incomplete encyclopaedic content. It is not necessarily up to editors what information is "relevant" to an article, only that it is related in some way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by R0tekatze (talk • contribs) 14:00, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
