Wikipedia:Don't make the point that an article is a cruftmagnet by overloading it with cruft

Certain articles seem destined almost from the beginning to incur the wrath of deletionists, who warn that those articles will overload Wikipedia with useless trivia, or "cruft." When they can't get the article deleted, they then go on to make the point that those articles are cruftmagnets by overloading them with cruft.

As an example, below we take the text from the article about Tuesday and overload it with cruft, and post it here. This is only an example meant to illustrate what pointcruft typically looks like.

The god Týr or Tiw, identified with Mars, after whom Tuesday is named.

Tuesday (pronounced /ˈtjuːzdeɪ, ˈtjuːzdi/ ^ⓘ) is the day of the week between Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday is widely considered the third day of the week, however, according to international standard ISO 8601, it is the second day of the week. It is derived from Old English Tiwesdæg and Middle English Tewesday, which means "Tiw's day".

Etymology

The name Tuesday derives from the Old English "Tiwesdæg" and literally means "Tiw's Day". Tiw is the Old English form of the Proto-Germanic god *Tîwaz, or Týr in Norse, a god of war and law. In the Indic languages of Pali and Sanskrit, as well as in Thailand, the name of the day is taken from Angaraka ('one who is red in colour') a style (manner of address) for Mangala, the god of war, and for Mars, the red planet.
