Jake Tapper's book

Ceasefire agreement in the lede

@Esterau16 The criteria for including information in the lede of an article is not purely whether or not that information is true, it's also whether it's notable. As I've explained when I made the edit, the ceasefire that was backed by Biden did not last more than a few months (additionally, there were still killings during the so-called ceasefire). The lede's purpose is to summarize the entirety of Biden's life and work, it seems obvious to me that backing this short-lived ceasefire agreement is far from making the cut.
