Trivia about Meaning of Ridder in Dutch

edit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Stay_on_topic

This is not relevant to an article on the company Knight-Ridder. Wikipedia isn't just a collection of irrelevant and loosely relevant trivia and it's not a Dutch-English dictionary either. If the fact that ridder meant knight had played some role in the history of the company, then I might see your point, but it hasn't.

I disagree. I do not see it as a prerequisite of relevance or notability that the name has to have played a role in the company's actual history; I believe that the very existence of such a rare coincidence (and its funny nature) is enough. However, Knight Ridder is not a high-enough priority for me to get into a big fight over the interpretation of the relevant Wikipedia policies. I already have my hands full with fixing the huge mess of overlapping and disorganized content in Lawyer, Juris Doctor, Law school, etc.. You win for now. --Coolcaesar 05:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
I also find it interesting enough - it's just a funny coincidence is all, and I don't think the article claims that it has any greater significance. Wikipedia is not just a collection of trivia, but that doesn't mean that trivia is completely banned. — sjorford (talk) 22:14, 24 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
At the risk of waking a sleeping dog, I agree, it is just a mildly interesting coincidence, not particularly rare even, and does not belong here. That's the whole point to having a style manual in the first place. If "I happened to chuckle at this" should be an exception, revise the style manual accordingly.

Agree with Ortcutt on both points. This is irrelevant. Further, the assertion of there being a "popular belief" is not substantiated and seems imagined by the writer at best if not an outright falsehood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poxenator (talkcontribs) 17:53, 18 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
