The notion that a widely and reliably reported rape and its significant repercussions, for the individuals involved and for multiple teams and for years now is a "brief controversy" is ludicrous, not to say horrific. In Wikipedia terms it's one of the most WP:N about this article subject, in terms of its impact, with the run-in with the council being as or more widely reported than any football aspects. The wider and continuing story has been resurfacing as the individual has moved from team to team, including in the international press. Why you keep serving to erase this across articles is not pleasant to contemplate. Mutt Lunker (talk) 13:21, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a "brief controversy" for Glasgow United. Here we have an 130 year old club reduced to some brief controversy over David Goodwillie in the lead. If it had serious consequences for Glasgow United then I would have no problem with it being in the lead. As it's a year later and Susan Aitken's threats have proven empty then it should have no place in the lead let alone the article. Dougal18 (talk) 14:48, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
