Talk:Tom Cruise Purple/Archive 1

Coat rack

I tagged this article as a {{coat rack}} because the bulk of the content is not about the cannabis strain and whatever significance or notability it may have as a substance with medical applications but about a public figure for whom the strain was named without his consent. – Athaenara ✉ 21:32, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

The bulk of the content of the article is about the product that is the subject of the article, the cannabis strain, and media reaction and commentary about it. That is specifically what it is about. -- Cirt (talk) 21:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

That's simply inaccurate, Cirt. More than half of the text is not about the substance and its medical applications. Is this strain of medical marijuana notable only because someone chose to name it for a controversial celebrity? – Athaenara ✉ 21:42, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

The text pertains directly to the product itself. It does not have to all be about its substance and medical applications. See Template:Cannabis resources, where the strains listed there do not just limit themselves to discussion of the medical aspects of the product. This is a very spurious tag placement. It smacks of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. -- Cirt (talk) 21:45, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

My two cents: This particular drug has been made widely notable solely because of the association with Tom Cruise. Wikipedia:Coatrack actually relates very little to this. Quoting from Wikipedia:COATRACK#What is not a coatrack, "An article about an astronaut might mostly focus on his moon landing. A moon trip that took only a tiny fraction of the astronaut's life takes up most of the article. But that does not make it a coatrack article. The event was a significant moment in the subject's life, and his main claim to notability." Applied to this article, the drug is the astronaut and the use of Tom Cruise's photo is the moon landing.
