I'm surprised to see no discussion as to whether Jonathan Scott is appropriately included as her partner in the infobox. Partner is generally something more than dating which is all that the article currently states. Given that they only met in August 2019, it seems like it was added prematurely. Admittedly I don't follow Deschanel or Scott all that closely so I'll defer to others to reach a conclusion. Knope7 ( talk) 22:53, 24 June 2020 (UTC) reply

Agreed it's added prematurely. Per the template, it's for unmarried long-term partners. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 23:29, 24 June 2020 (UTC) reply

It doesn't warrant any further discussion or inclusion in the infobox whatsoever at this point, per WP:BLP and WP:WEIGHT. All the sources tell us is that they were seen on one date. That's not a "partner". It's barely a friendship. Sundayclose ( talk) 23:34, 24 June 2020 (UTC) reply

I think there's something wrong with the source. Additionally, I was not able to find credible sources saying that she has ADHD Thewriter006 ( talk) 04:12, 1 March 2021 (UTC) reply

Btw, see

and a comment here https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/449jxi/til_zooey_deschanel_has_adhd/ that says

> She actually briefly talked about it in an interview after this. She said that this article was a joke, but that she really has it. Can't find it atm on youtube, but I saw it earlier today.

Thanks for noticing this. You're right. Although she co-founded HelloGiggles, the linked page has nothing about Deschanel having ADHD. I'm removing it for now, per WP:BLP. Feel free to restore it if you find a reliable source. Sundayclose ( talk) 04:39, 1 March 2021 (UTC) reply

Hey, can we acknowledge in her Personal Life section that she is Jewish by conversion? There are many sources for this information: https://www.vulture.com/2015/11/zooey-deschanel-converted-to-judaism.html
