Submitted Draft
Sorry, didn't see that it had been moved to draftspace from namespace. Please ignore my submission.TimeEngineer (talk) 07:16, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Jewish status
Her father was Jewish by birth, but her mother was a convert. Do we know who converted her? Depending on who did, the Jewish status of Victoria and her 2 kids might not be recognised by all synagogues. PatGallacher (talk) 18:32, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- I couldn't find anything on but I don't think it matters. If Starmer was brought up in a Jewish household and sees herself as Jewish and coverage of her overwhelming describe her as Jewish then its safe to say she is. Judaism is fairly open about who is Jewish as well, from what I've learned. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:49, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Judaism is 100% not open about who is Jewish. Only very liberal movements will recognize patrilineal descent, intermarriage is generally discouraged, and no movement will accept conversions of a movement deemed less strict. That said, most communities will make a fuss about someone who's mother converted calling themselves Jewish, even if they wouldn't accept that conversion. TimeEngineer (talk) 08:24, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- @TimeEngineer, hence why I said "fairly". Converts are definitely seen as outsiders by a lot of religious Jews, depending on the denomination but I don't think anyone will challenge the status of such a public figure because it will almost certainly create a huge backlash.
- Its certainly not for us to decide though. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:49, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

There are contradictory reports about her age or year of birth, but I assume this will be clarified soon, see this: [1] PatGallacher (talk) 23:45, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Its why I took the most recent profile on her. It was detailed and gave the year and age when she was elected Cardiff University Students' Union president. Hopefully we will get an exact date soon but the approximate one works for the moment. Omnis Scientia (talk) 00:01, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Why is she Lady Starmer?
Perhaps the reason for the "Lady" in her name is obvious to British readers, but it isn't to others in Wikipedia's global readership. Could it be explained in a footnote or in some other way? Moncrief (talk) 04:03, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Moncrief, she is the wife of someone who is knighted (Sir Keir Starmer) so that's her official title. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:50, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I hadn't realized until today that he is a Sir. Moncrief (talk) 05:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Lady Starmer is not "The Right Honourable"
Lady Starmer should not have "The Right Honourable" above her name. @MAL_MALDIVE added it by comparison to The Right Honourable The Lady Wilson of Rievaulx who was the wife of a baron, not the wife of a knight. The wife of a knight is not entitled to "The Right Honourable" unless they are a privy counsellor, which Lady Starmer is not. HMQSasha (talk) 12:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oh! I thout we should give it, when the person is called "lady" in British. sorry. MAL MALDIVE (talk) 13:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- No worries. British titles are very confusing, most British people don't even understand them. HMQSasha (talk) 13:07, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- No worries at all. There are a lot of titles and, as HMQSasha has noted, even the Brits don't follow who is called what. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Children
Why are the names of her children omitted? Son = Toby Alexander Starmer; daughter = Lara Alexandra Starmer. The information is publicly available via an easily citeable source - the General Register Office Birth Index. 146.200.29.183 (talk) 16:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

- Agnostic on including the names, but I'll note that the couple evidently don't ever speak the names in public. Moncrief (talk) 19:49, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
