Proposal

All the articles claiming Affleck proposed to Garner on her 33rd birthday ultimately trace back to an anonymously sourced claim in the tabloid Star. That is not a reliable source, and it's well established in WikiProject:Biography that we don't run claims by anonymous, unnamed, purported "sources" of unknowable veracity. We are WP:NOTTABLOID, and unless we have a confirmation of the engagement date from the subjects or their representatives, we cannot claim as encyclopedic an unconfirmed claim about the supposed date of their engagement. --Tenebrae (talk)

Jennifer & Ben’s 15 year old child is no longer Seraphina nor a daughter, but is a non-binary child named Fin. Please edit to remove the incorrect gender and deadname.

Partly done: We don't appear to have exact details about pronouns/gender, therefore I have omitted mention about daughters/sons for now (as I also did for Ben Affleck) and updated the name using the Newsweek source. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 16:04, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
