Objectivity & Tone

[edit]

While he has many "fans" (myself included), the title "...internet legend..." which appears with other official titles seems a little much. JosephSzymborski (talk) 20:33, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not encyclopedic

[edit]

"His daughter Rebecca Alison Meyer died on June 7th, 2014 on her 6th birthday, less than a year after her diagnosis of grade 3 (anaplastic) astrocytoma, a brain tumor." - Unfortunately, Wikipedia can never be a proper encyclopedia, because instances like this so frequently happen. I rely on Wikipedia as a great source of information on trivial matters, but it fails for most scholarly issues. I am not trying to minimize anything about the death of Eric Mayer's daughter. But it does not belong in an encyclopedia. 75.165.47.97 (talk) 23:29, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the death of his daughter, sad though it is, has little encyclopedic value in itself. But the fact that "all the Web community" (including Mozilla, Apple, Google and Microsoft) voted to have a CSS colour value named after her is highly uncommon. I think this also serves as an indicator of Meyer's standing within that community. So I would suggest this be kept.--MichielN (talk) 16:13, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
