Talk:Demetre Anastassakis

Relationship with Claudia Pires
Article sources (notably this and this) describe Anastassakis' relationship with architect Claudia Pires as "companion" or life partner. The first of these sources, at least, seems reliable enough. I'm also not aware of anything that flatly contradict the existence of this relationship in Anastassakis' later years.

However as the edit history shows there is disagreement over the use of the term "spouse" in the infobox. Our article on spouse does certainly lead with the suggestion that a spousal relationship is more akin to marriage, while noting that broader definitions also exist. Implying that Pires and Anastassakis were actually or effectively married would go beyond the current sources. As infoboxes are intended only as summaries of article text, I've removed the "spouse" line but retained the "life companion" mention in the text as that is reliably sourced.

But that's just my view. What does anyone else think? Views welcome on this or any alternative wording in describing the relationship. -- Euryalus (talk) 01:02, 14 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree with you. IIRC the "spouse" parameter came from transposing a Wikidata item and is not in fact corroborated by sources, as far as the English term goes. I'll be sure to check the Wikidata item when I can to see if the problem is restricted to English. In any case I'd leave the article here as you suggest. Rkieferbaum (talk) 01:53, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
