Prevent oddly-specific descriptions of clips used in logos from appearing on pages

I was editing the ABC Kids earlier today and I noticed that at least one of the clips described on the page sounded oddly-specific, namely this:

ABC For Kids: Live In Concert (2 clips from The Wiggles' performances of "Get Ready to Wiggle" and "Here Comes a Bear")

I've shortened it to "2 clips featuring The Wiggles" as both of the clips used are sourced from their portion of the aforementioned concert video. Although the logo contains a brief snippet from one of the songs listed, it makes you wonder why they're on the page at all, despite some of the clips in the 4th logo being from musical numbers from their respective shows. Should we make a rule about this? TapLover (talk) 03:34, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Abstain

Abstain I'm unsure on that, to be honest. Gilby1385 (talk) 12:03, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Abstain, as while I think it would be useful information, the point made about the description of the clips interrupting the main description is also solid. Eternity Media Group (talk) 13:47, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

Oppose I don't think so. Besides, I'm pretty sure it can help viewers figure out where to find those clips, or which episode of a show the clip is from, the latter especially (provided you don't plan to do the same for that, of course). Gilby1385 (talk) 11:59, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Oppose All of the other descriptions in that section have the episodes/tapes the clips came from. What made The Wiggles so different that you felt the need to shorten that and only that? Foty829 (talk) 15:05, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Oppose This is bad for this being a database. This won't help at all with finding things. (What you gonna do when clip-ons come for you!?) 17:52, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Comments

Comment: is there any specific reason why you want such descriptions removed? Eternity Media Group (talk) 05:26, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Comment: To allow for consistent logo descriptions, I guess? Even my page of choice sounds oddly-specific. I don't want a page to suddenly describe a certain scene in the context of the media in question, rather than the logo itself cause it may distract from the logo description. Such event would be considered "inappropriate" for AVID's standards. TapLover (talk) 08:47, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
