Freddie Mercury

I'd like to propose that the content about Freddie Mercury be removed from the lead of the article about Valsad.

Is there any argument that Valsad is most famous for being the location that Freddie Mercury's ancestors were born? If not, this shouldn't be in the lead. Note that (as far as I know) Mercury never actually lived in Valsad, and his only connection is his ancestors. If that's the case, why should this be at the top of the article as a primary point?

As a comparison, look at the article for Zanzibar - a place where he was born and actually lived. His name doesn't appear in the lead, and barely appears in the article for Zanzibar. This is as opposed to Valsad, where he never lived, may not have even visited (can anybody confirm?), and had no apparent connection other than his ancestors.

Freddie Mercury is an important person for his contribution to music. But I don't see why he belongs in this article other than as a cursory reference. Techielaw (talk) 22:10, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
