RFC: Should first sentence include 1994 Academy nominee status of Director?

[edit]

Currently the first sentence is this:

Bikini Moon is an upcoming 2017 film by Academy-award nominee Milcho Manchevski.

I don't think Academy-award nominee is necessary. First off, its only a nominee-ship. There are other things to tout for Milcho than a failed Academy chance. Second, its from 1994. Isn't there something more relevant that Milcho is known for? I think the first sentence should be

Bikini Moon is an upcoming 2017 film directed by Milcho Manchevski.

As this is clear and to the point, without trying to impute some goodness upon the film by virtue of the director being a 1994 Academy Award nominee. I think of it as reverse Poisoning-the-well, attempting to influence how a reader will perceive something, and that is not neutrality, not balanced editing. Lastly I appeal to what other things are. Consider The Force Awakens or The Bridge on the River Kwai. They do not say "created by Award winning director…" even though David Lean won 2 Awards for best director. If other films don't start off praising the director in the very first sentence, why should Biki Moon?

Survey

[edit]
For the benefit of all involved AN/I regarding RfC closure. Yes, they can run for 30 days. But SNOW allows changes to be made and the RfC to be closed long before a "minimum" time period has elapsed. I could have NAC SNOW this on the 23rd, but seeing the AN/I fight, I decided not too. The reason I ignored User:Ad Orientems not then spoken advice In general RfC's should probably not be opened until after reasonable efforts have been made to reach consensus locally, that is to say on the relevant talk page. is because I dislike content disputes and their resulting EW. I open RfCs when I know their SNOW outcome to save time, breath, and the feelings of those involved. L3X1 (distant write) 18:53, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
