Talk:Conor McGregor#Nicknames styles and page protection

Why are this man‘s crimes being called “controversies” when other pages use legal terminology for convicted criminals? Being convicted of raping a woman is not a controversy. Punching an old man in the face in front of witnesses is not a controversy. Call them what they are. 24.140.204.84 (talk) 03:19, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:All of that should go under a "Criminal History" category 2603:8081:8700:2732:4E9F:87AA:6CDE:9090 (talk) 18:45, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

McGregor told the 46-year-old to "Dance for me, boy," at a promotional event in Los Angeles, before urging the crowd to yell obscenities at Mayweather, his wife and children.

"46-year-old" should be changed to Mayweather, or, failing this, "40-year-old". Mayweather's age as written reflects that the article this sentence was taken from was written in 2023. 184.145.73.87 (talk) 03:25, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

:I changed it to "him" so that "Mayweather" is not used twice in that sentence.— yutsi (talk) 19:22, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

I feel like the fact that a jury found that he raped a woman is going under in the article. Especially considering the additional numerous cases of alleged sexual assault and assault that he faced. I'm not a professional when it comes to Wikipedia's rules, however just from a personal human perspective I feel like a convicted rapist should immediately be recognisable as such in the first sentence and not just after 4 paragraphs of all his athletic achievements. To me that seems like an essential thing to know about a person. Why not something along the lines of "Conor McGregor is an Irish professional mixed martial artist, businessman and convicted rapist."

Isn't that just as important as the other facts about him? FrittenFloeter (talk) 23:45, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

:Following this suggestion, added a brief reference in the first paragraph. Iandaandi (talk) 06:42, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

:And I have updated the opening sentence. He hasn't fought (in the ring) in four years, and is arguably just as well known now for his arrests, civil and criminal trials, etc. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 22:45, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

:I amended the opening sentence, as mentioned. There seems to be consensus for inclusion of "convicted criminal" and MOS:LEAD specifically states the lead {{tpq|"should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies.}} WP is not censored.

(And he won't be a "politician" until he actually runs for office).

:It would be helpful if those who disagree could discuss here, rather than just reverting. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 11:17, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

At some point, an infobox that only highlights celebrated sports achievements seems unbalanced in light of a growing list of convictions that are also a large part of this biography.

While Template:Infobox criminal exists, it doesn't seem to be intended for a page like this.

If other editors are in consensus, it seems like it could be a fair compromise for the infobox to include basic biographical data only (age, nationality, etc.), while all other information would continue to appear in the article's text.

Please share feedback and any other suggestions. Thanks!

:The 'basic' :Template:Infobox person has parameters for criminal convictions, and also allows inclusion of additional infobox types, so it would be possible to include both the convictions and the current MMA information, if desired? Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 22:51, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
