It probably refers to the NYT and Wapo reporting in the body. If it's cited in the body, it doesn't strictly need to be cited in the lede. However, perhaps we should change the wording to reflect the sources more closely, or add the citations for clarity. Andre🚐23:57, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Added a citation needed for now, if no one can figure out what source that is the sentence should probably be removed.
Thank you! Can't believe someone would bother to write on a talk page without actually checking the news first. LOL! 126.156.173.77 (talk) 13

Wikilinking first instance outside of lead
@DeXXus: I am noting this here as I believe that there may be a misunderstanding of the manual of style that resulted in this edit (which, in part, reverted my edit) and want to clear it up for future as it applies to nearly every article on the English Wikipedia. MOS:REPEATLINK states that "Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but it may be repeated if helpful for readers...and at the first occurrence after the lead." There was no need to remove the wikilinks in the first part of the revert. I don't doubt your intentions but wanted to clarify this to prevent future misunderstandings.

Before asking us to add something to an article, please ensure it's not already there. Wikipedia editors are very busy, so please don't waste their time. TFD (talk) 03:24, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Two different Naomis. Hunter Biden's sister Naomi got killed in a car crash in 1972 at the age of one year old. Hunter Biden barely survived that crash. The Naomi Biden who got married at the White House today is Hunter's daughter, named after her deceased aunt. Cullen328 (talk) 03:38, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see no reason to go against the instructions in the Template:Infobox person which clearly states that for the children, the information for the field should be entered as "Typically the number of children (e.g., 3); only list names of independently notable or particularly relevant children." Unlike the children of the President of the United States, the grandchildren are not presumed to be notable. Banana Republic (talk) 03:33, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Name of daughter with Lunden Roberts
I just noticed that of all the references in the personal section regarding Biden's daughter with Lunden Roberts, the only reference that explicitly lists her name is the reference by the New York Post. Per WP:NYPOST, the New York Post is not considered reliable. Should the child's name therefore be removed from the article? Banana Republic (talk) 03:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
