Why not include early marital history in his biography section?

The only woman the article confesses Castro had engaged with sexually were two after his first wife died, giving Castro the impression of a moral leader, who never cheated on his wife. However, during his "marital history" section of the article, it seems that he engaged with Maria Laborde who bore him a son, during his first marriage. This fact obviously should ruin his reputation as a moral leader, however, is overlooked by many (as is not included in his biography section) and thus gives him the impression a leader with a moral character. Shouldn't we include this scandal in the biography to limit any potential accusation of bias? Davidninjaking (talk) 18:47, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Maria Laborde was in fact introduced in the Marital History section of the article itself. Davidninjaking (talk) 22:20, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Possibility of moving official international visits information to separate article

A separate article documenting a list of official state visits of Fidel Castro would be commonsensible, as is the case with Vladimir Putin, Elizabeth II, Harald V, Birendra of Nepal, Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, Haakon VII, and several more. To further reason, several articles on other politicians or dictators do not have this section in their articles, making this a possible approach for a list this long that is rarely seen in other articles.

• I would be fine with deleting the whole section as too much detail, but spinning out is also a viable option. Z1720 (talk) 23:43, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

  Please elucidate what you mean by "spinning out." That phrase is not familiar to me. Finleyreese (talk) 01:40, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
