Part of the process of improving articles involves editing them, and
that includes removing stuff as well as adding stuff. There are many
cases of articles at the featured article process (and sometimes at
the good article level as well) where excessive detail is removed. The
specific arguments for carrying out such editing on this article
belong on the article talk page.
