Mary Harney article in Wiki

Unless you know who Mary Harney is, you probably won't think this is funny.

On the Discussion page, some one wanted to add:

Obesity
Amongst other things, Harney is notable for being the heaviest female member of the Irish parliament. Can her obesity be noted in the article?

To which someone replied:

No. Unencyclopaedic, unverifiable and irrelevant.

Funny enough, I don't think it's irrelevant. She is the minister for health after all and recently announced €3 million to progress the implementation of the recommendations of the National Task Force on Obesity. So much for leading by example!

I think you meant to post this on Wikipedia...or is this a case of "how dare someone's opinion differ to mine"?

Nah, I just nearly laughed until I cried when I read "Amongst other things, Harney is notable for being the heaviest female member of the Irish parliament." It would be such a funny thing to read in an encyclopedia article. The comment at the end was just my 2p worth.
