In cases such as these, an "other stuff exists"–type of argument or rationale may provide the necessary precedent for style and phraseology. For instance, upon the sudden death of the actor Heath Ledger in 2008, a discussion broke out about adding "the late" before his name in the article on The Dark Knight , a film in which he had a major role.

Articles about ongoing ethnic feuds are subject to ongoing feuds between ethnic groups. Some articles are crap (but you can fix it, what are you waiting for?!).
The rest parameter must be the final named parameter in the function's parameter list. It will be assigned an Array containing any arguments passed to the function in excess of the other named parameters. In other words, it gets "the rest" of the arguments passed to the function (hence the name).
Other language Wikipedias do not have the same standards for inclusion. The fact that an article exists on another language Wikipedia is not a valid or sufficient argument to permit an article on the same topic to exist on the English project.
