Pregnancy News

edit

Hello. News about Margot Robbie being pregnant was released in early July (via People Magazine). However, Wikipedia editors have reverted any edits adding info about this in the article since Robbie hasn't seemingly confirmed her pregnancy herself. This is understandable. However, in an interview, Robbie's Barbie costar Ariana Greenblatt confirmed that Robbie is pregnant. (See the article here: https://people.com/barbie-s-ariana-greenblatt-says-her-mom-guessed-margot-robbie-s-pregnancy-before-the-news-broke-8693523.) I believe this is verification enough for Robbie's pregnancy news to be included in the article. Let me know what you think so we can reach a consensus.

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources says "the magazine should not be used for contentious claims unless supplemented with a stronger source.". That article is written in a particularly tabloid style that instantly triggered my scepticism. Content such as "her mom, Soli, had a dream about Robbie's pregnancy" is a serious trigger. There MUST be a better source somewhere. HiLo48 (talk) 01:54, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Per this, "Multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE that the Barbie star, 34, and husband Tom Ackerley are expecting their first baby". Alexandra Daddario backed this claim. Kailash29792 (talk) 02:48, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
That second, probably independent source is good, but the word "adorably" doesn't belong in quality journalism either. I recommend citing both sources. HiLo48 (talk) 03:14, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
At this time, sources' framing of the supposed pregnancy does not merit a neutral claim here about Robbie being pregnant. Yes, Robbie is probably pregnant. So what? Every source has attributed their reporting to anonymous sources, published that it has been reported elsewhere that Robbie is pregnant, or included a quote from somebody famous suggesting Robbie is pregnant. None has neutrally said so. The only appropriate way to write about any pregnancy is "Robbie is reportedly pregnant" or "actors Ariana Greenblatt and Alexandra Daddario have suggested that Robbie is pregnant". Which of these meets WP:BLPGOSSIP and WP:NOTNEWS? KyleJoantalk 04:21, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
