There is no reason for this article's Personal life section to include an enumeration of 10(!) past boyfriends.
In what way is that of "historical, societal, scientific, intellectualic significance"? I suggest deleting that part.
I would like to know everyone's opinion on this matter: Should any of Watson's past relationships be mentioned in the personal life section of her Wikipedia article? Or should none of them be included, considering that Wikipedia is not a gossip site, and the mention of her marriage, if it were to happen, would be the only relevant information regarding her relationships in the personal life section?

This is rather simple... If something has received adaqeque coverage via reliable sources it should be included with due weight. If it doesn't, just remove the parts that fail that standard. Removing an entire section because WP:IDONTLIKEIT isn't sufficient. Nemov (talk) 13:39, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also see Wikipedia:PUBLICFIGURE; essentially, we have a WP:BRD case here. Content was removed, content was restored....at that point discussion should have followed; just reverting back and forth is editwarring (all involved should consider this a warning). I would urge to restore at least the adequately sourced content, and discuss about its inclusion or exclusion afterwards....no touching the article, or we might have full protection and/or blocks for edit-warring.

We create biographies on wikipedia, not a gossip column like you have in People magazine, Seasider and Bibliophile Dragon in my opinion have done the right thing in removing the relationship stuff. I only think it's worth mentioning, when one gets married or has children within a relationship. Govvy (talk) 17:16, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
I can't see any consensus agreed upon to remove the information from the page, so I am reverting it to how it was originally, with the information back in, and ensuring all sources are RS. Proper procedure, ie removing the information with consensus, was not followed here, so I'm restoring the information until consensus decides it should be removed, following discussion. IN any case, bio pages typically include relationship information, there is no wikipedia policy that says it needs to be removed. Deathlibrarian (talk) 11:18, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I still can't see any consensus to remove the relationship information, it was removed previously in 2024 by one now non active editor, without discussion or explanation. I've put the information back in until it can be discussed and a consensus is made to remove here on the talk page. Deathlibrarian (talk) 12:33, 3 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

According to multiple reports she doesn't seem to have graduated with a master's degree and instead seems to have just 'advanced' to a DPhil at Oxford so the infobox MSt degree should be removed.
This was reverted when there's more evidence she doesn't have the degree than that she does... At most her infobox can have University of Oxford but not the degree —Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-32996-50 (talk) 18:18, 28 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
