I have reverted an edit that removed one of the five children with no reason. Do not remove it again without giving a good reason. Bduke (talk) 07:20, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In part, the reason that you were given but ignored was WP:EGG. Also, we generally do not treat every child of a figure as automatically constituting a key fact that should be included per WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE. Cheers. Remsense ‥ 论07:22, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I feel as though WP:SDDATES would suggest we should note Churchill's terms of office in the short description. He's certainly well-known for being a politician and author, but I think the more important point is that he was prime minister. Векочел (talk) 02:57, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. "Dates or date ranges are encouraged when they enhance the short description as an annotation or improve disambiguation" - do we really need dates to "enhance the short description as an annotation or improve disambiguation" for WC? And I would suggest that if Churchill had kicked the bucket, rung down the curtain, and joined the quire invisible on 9 May 1940 he would still have been a highly notable figure without ever being PM.
