Why is health status only in Career?
editAlthough health status obviously affects the career of a public person, and Bruce Willis' health decline became known via trouble in his work life, it's a mistake for it to appear only under the "2020s: Critical decline, health problems and retirement" section, but be absent from the Personal Life section. It could easily be re-worked to balance both sections, and would strengthen the article. I came to Wikipedia today to check on his health status, and was surprised to not find it in his Personal Life section, which is the logical place to put it. Do the usual editors of the article approve? Denstat (talk) 23:58, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
- I have the exact same question. Atomic Scorch (talk) 06:51, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Atomic Scorch@Denstat I agree it is a problem and that nothing has been done about it for a long time now.
- Unfortunately the health status is intrinsically linked to his career, while also a personsal matter. I haven't seen a "for more deacription, see the career section" type link in an article before. It is not efficient to repeat all health details in both the career and personsal life sections. It is misleading to have a brief mention of the health status in the personal life section as readers won't know it is covered in career. I don't know how to proceed, but at least it is mentioned in the lead. Commander Keane (talk) 00:30, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Daughters
editCan someone please correct hos profile in regards to his daughters. His youngest 2 daughters are Mabel and Evelyn. AussieFirecracker (talk) 02:19, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia policy is to only name children who are notable in their own right. The most common way that is determined is if they have their own Wikipedia article. His eldest daughter, Rumer, does have an article because of her own acting career. That doesn't appear to be the case for the two daughters you named above.
