Reference to spouse in infobox

[edit]

Wikipedia:Writing about women#Infoboxes states "Infoboxes are an important source of metadata (see DBpedia) and a source of discrimination against women. For example, the word spouse is more likely to appear in a woman's infobox than in a man's." This says to me that there is a gap in articles about men - and where discrimination is being played out is omitting women from men's pages, not from adding major information to women's pages. I believe a person's 30+ year marriage is worthy of mention in an infobox - no matter what sex. Clare. (talk) 03:02, 20 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Disagree - the point being made is that perceiving a women's marriage as a "key fact" about her contributes to the "Defining women by their relationships" problem in the following section at WAW. Her marriage, no matter its length, is not particularly significant to her notability. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:22, 20 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
I disagree, relationships are notable to our lives (both men's and women's). A person's marriage should not define them, nor should it be ignored or erased as if it is of no interest/consequence.Clare. (talk) 21:18, 21 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
What I said was it's not significant to her notability - ie. she isn't known for being the wife of Mr. Rees, but rather for what she herself accomplished. We're not ignoring her marriage, as it's still discussed in the article; we're simply not overemphasizing it. Nikkimaria (talk) 21:36, 21 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
