Coolcactus04 suggested a discussion here after removing mention of Walker-Barnes' spouse (which I have reverted), and I really appreciate the acknowledgment of WP:SPOUSE and that articles about women can too easily define them by their relationships to men. However, I would suggest it is very standard in a biography like this to include a personal life section that has a brief mention of spouse and children, when that information is available in the sources, and is done so in the ways WP:SPOUSE suggests, that is, not in the opening paragraphs or linking her notability to anyone else, and in the format "Subject is married to ..." (not the reverse). Thanks Melcous ( talk) 23:31, 28 February 2022 (UTC) reply

Hi Melcous, thanks for letting me know! I wasn't too sure about the intricacies of WP:SPOUSE so this was super helpful. Coolcactus04 ( talk) 00:09, 1 March 2022 (UTC) reply
