Trivial hagiography

This article, while not exactly a hagiography, is full of trivial data points which should nto be in an encyclopedic article. Not every comment that the minister has on the issue of the day is worthy o mention. "Barth Eide visited China in early February and met with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, to discuss the situations in Ukraine, the Gaza Strip and Myanmar, among other things." - c'mon, that's what ministers do. Was there anyhting notable about this meeting? Did it result in any impactful decisions? There are numerous such worthless tidbits in the article Kentucky Rain24 (talk) 23:26, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll l start trimming this trivia now Kentucky Rain24 (talk) 21:15, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
