Talk:Connie Bonaros

Personal info about Bonaros
New account is removing the personal information here without explanation -- presumably someone with a WP:COI wanting to subtly increase privacy for Bonaros. While the way it's being done is wrong, I would suggest that unless the spouse is a notable person in their own right, they ought to be removed from the infobox. The other stuff should remain as is - i.e. state that Bonaros is married with one kid, keeping the existing citation.

One other point. Something that Wikipedia does poorly in BLPs is allow for the situation where a marriage is over, albeit not necessarily legally finalised, but this is not publicised. If this were the case for Bonaros it doubly makes sense to avoid putting the ex-spouse name in the infobox based on just one citation. What I'm saying is putting a spouse in an infobox should only be done for individuals where change of marital status is likely to be covered by a range of press outlets.

 * I think it's a case where the inclusion is harmless in general but if it's being insistently removed it shouldn't be re-added because of the reasons you noted. I can remember one rather ignoble case where people kept reinstating it on an MPs biography which led to a politically-connected Wikipedian having to confirm that they had, indeed, split, which could've been avoided by just leaving it out where an issue was raised. I don't think it really makes sense to only put a spouse in an infobox for "individuals where change of marital status is likely to be covered by a range of press outlets" - as someone who's heard about a bunch of senior politico splits on the grapevine over the years, this really isn't a clear category. Unless you're the PM or a state Premier, the media's likely to not report it unless you want to talk about it yourself (like, for example, when Albanese and Tebbutt put out a press release when they split).

 * His name was in the article from 19 March 2018 to 18 February 2020, and is still in the cited profile on the party website. I accept that now it has been removed 3 times, it is best not added again, at least until/unless he is reported more widely. --Scott Davis Talk 03:07, 24 February 2020 (UTC)--Scott Davis Talk 03:07, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
