Lede

Why do we need the phrase "BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh confirmed" in the lede? That seems like unnecessary detail for a lede. Bondegezou (talk) 14:01, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because in this version, it states the following: "However, it scored poor viewership figures for its broadcast on BBC One and was cancelled." This indicates that the series was cancelled due to the poor viewership figures, for which there is no source to back this statement up. -- Alex^TW

OK, what about: "However, it scored poor viewership figures for its broadcast on BBC One. It was subsequently cancelled." ?? Bondegezou (talk) 16:10, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Poor sentence structure on the latter. "It was subsequently cancelled"? When? Who said so? -- Alex^TW 11:47, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's the lede: it's a summary. What matters for the lede is that is was cancelled. Who said so is not a detail you need there: it's given in the main text later on. One could have something about when but it doesn't seem that important. Bondegezou (talk) 15:36, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"It was subsequently cancelled" is not a summary, it's a stunted sentence that is an attempt to force the guidelines to extremes by providing only the smallest of detail. -- Alex^TW 11:14, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't see where you're coming from with that last comment. Who confirmed the news is a minor point and not what's needed in the lede. I had a look through Category:2016 British television programme endings and couldn't see any other article lede that named who said a series had been cancelled. I can't see anything wrong with short sentences myself, but if you don't like the construction, I'm not bothered about the exact phrasing. It's just weird to suddenly have so much detail.
