With how huge and significant McCain's funeral was, and if RBG's death and funeral can have its own article, I don't see why McCain can't. Vinnylospo (talk) 06:53, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Actually, I think the section is greatly over-written. Note that all of it was added after the article was promoted to FA, as he was still alive then. If you want to make a separate article about the funeral arrangements, knock yourself out, but what is there now includes a whole lot of less important stuff and WP:RECENTism. Even Lenin's much more historically important funeral and lying in state is less than half as long as this bloated section. -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:35, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I agree. Someone needs to take a hatchet to that section. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:16, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- We have several articles on notable funerals. But you may need to personally write one on MCain's funeral, as there seems to be limited interest by other editors. Dimadick (talk) 12:53, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- @Vinnylospo It is a good idea, I would be willing to write. FloridaMan21 23:00, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- @Vinnylospo Then a main article tag can be added to the funeral section. FloridaMan21 23:04, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I agree that (1) this article is too long, and should be split, and (2) an article should be created about his funeral. Bearian (talk) 02:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
