Did anyone notice that the opening sentence of this tag "contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information." Contains wording that (1) Promotes the subject of improving the article in a subjective manner (2) without imparting real information (where

Can we at least agree that this tag can only be ever used under the condition that constructive, concrete and actionable information for improvement is provided on the talk page of the tagged page.
