:Agreed wholeheartedly, but it's also exactly the sort of trivia people use WP (and, previously, other encyclopedias) for. Regardless of its statistical irrelevance, it's the sort of thing people want to know, so the best we can do is supply an accurate maximum.

:: No, it's not if we can't come to an agreement it should be removed. That is not accurate, It is a pseudo sourced scientific report. we can't come to an agreement cause You refuse to add multiple sources. You refuse to accept Guinness as reliable even though it's the EXACT same source mentioned below, and You been blocked before for edit warring and I can see why. This is no longer a debate and adding back my source end of story.--[[Special:Contributions/76.107.252.227|76.107.252.227]] ([[User talk:76.107.252.227|talk]]) 22:20, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
:::I find it highly ironic that you call me out for refusing to accept Guinness, yet I will bet a $20 donation to WP foundation that, as of the timestamp of this posting, you have read *neither* of the sources provided on this page and indicated by me which refute this record. Tell me the first word of on the 3rd page of the relevant chapter of the Murphy book to prove you have it or have access via a library, and I'll fire off $20 to WP. And you do not get to unilaterally declare this discussion over. [[User:HCA|HCA]] ([[User talk:HCA|talk]]) 14:13, 1 September 2015 (UTC)▼
:::Also you are going against [[WP:ONUS]] which states, "Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article". The amount of policies you have broken on Wikipedia is Astounding--[[User:Fruitloop11|Fruitloop11]] ([[User talk:Fruitloop11|talk]]) 23:22, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
::My previous comments notwithstanding, I agree that a discussion of typical and maximum length/size is of keen interest to readers and should be included in the article. I just think we need to strive to provide the most realistic and useful information that we can, add all appropriate caveats, and be careful to avoid tabloid-level reliance on dubious unverifiable reports that stretch the bounds of credulity. —[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 06:33, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
