Mission statement removal

@user:Doug Weller What about the mission statement makes it inappropriate for Wikipedia? Was it too long? Was it written like an advertisement? Diff Oktayey (talk) 18:05, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mission statements are advertisements, always promotional. I try to remove them whenever I see them, no matter what the article. Doug Weller talk 18:42, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way to describe a group's purpose without it becoming a mission statement? Oktayey (talk) 17:49, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oktayey find an independent reliable source. I’ve seen a lot of mission statements that misrepresent the organisation. Note I’m not saying that applies here. Doug Weller talk 19:07, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, so the problem was that it was backed by only a primary source? Oktayey (talk) 20:01, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oktayey the problem is that it’s self-sourced. Doug Weller talk 12:25, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
