Jennifer Lopez

Since Jennifer Lopez legally changed her name to Jennifer Affleck, should this article be renamed Jennifer Affleck? GamerKlim9716 (talk) 22:55, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, see WP:MAIDEN.--FriendlyFerret9854 (talk) 23:36, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. This is no Victoria Beckham situation. Trillfendi (talk) 01:04, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There shouldn't be any debate unless there's confirmation that she'll be using "Jennifer Affleck" professionally. Lots of married American women still use their birth names. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 08:04, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why “professionally”? Depends on a person and his/her personal/professional choices; let's ask them (him/her), Wiki is not destined to be a XXX designer, people in their flesh are, IMHO.☆☆☆—Pietadè^Talk 20:16, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Pietadè: - There's guidelines discussing name changes. WP:NAMECHANGES would be relevant to J.Lo's name change. She still appears to be using "Lopez" as her professional surname and all the sources provided on her marriage still refer to her as "Jennifer Lopez".

Otherwise, someone like Eva Longoria's page should be "Eva Bastón". Many famous Americans still use their maiden names professionally even if they have gone through a legal name change. As mentioned, the case of Victoria Beckham is because her married name is used professionally, including her brand as a designer. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 17:05, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, by now (06:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)) ☆☆☆—Pietadè^Talk 06:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Professionaly? She is now legally Affleck hahaha and Wikipedia is lying again… Gabica (talk) 23:24, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Plenty of entertainers use their maiden name as their professional stage name in the public spotlight while changing their name after getting married, but because they're known professionally in their work by their maiden name you wouldn't change the title of a Wikipedia article, including Sophie Turner (actress; now Jonas but continuing to be credited professionally as Turner), Katharine McPhee (actress and musician; now McPhee Foster but still credited professionally as McPhee only), and Salma Hayek (actress; Hayek Pinault for over a decade but only ever credited as Hayek). Victoria Beckham is a case where she chose to refer to herself professionally with her married name and she has also used her name for branding in her career as a designer. PunkAndromeda (talk) 00:33, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Heck, not even just actors. People whose professional life is dependent on people knowing their name typically don't change. Doctors come to mind, primarily, as a field where maiden (or married, if divorced) names are kept if it's what they established their career as. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that a woman who is known as "J Lo" because of her name might not go by her married name professionally, or maybe even not personally. If she publicly comes out and says she's using her married name, reliable sources will start referring to her as such, and then we can change it, per policy FrederalBacon (talk) 01:14, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Under relatives, please add Jennifer's older sister, Leslie Lopez. She is the older of the three, Jen being the middle child. 196.50.198.119 (talk) 19:56, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

jennifer lopez new album in 8 years Rohitlambaji (talk) 07:19, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Already in article: "and a forthcoming studio album called This Is Me... Now scheduled to be released in 2023". --Mvqr (talk) 11:11, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Husbands

Excuse me but Affleck and Lopez are not yet married. "shadow eddy" (from gr) (talk) 18:41, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It says at the bottom of her Personal life section, that they were married on July 16, 2022. (See here). It was also cited three times.

Bowdlerization of expletives

Bizarre Bizarre, as of your revision to the page, you uncensored two cuss words in the article despite the fact that they quoted in the source as censored. Notice in this section of the Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)#Analysis the four-letter word is censored as according to what is quoted in the source. Is WP a source of users with a sense of partiality?102.158.3.193 (talk) 19:43, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If those words offend you, I'm sorry but, as I mentioned in my edit summary, Wikipedia is not censored. Furthermore, it's not difficult to find other reliable sources that don't censor those words.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] The original source of the quote, an interview with Ben Affleck in The Hollywood Reporter, also doesn't censor them.^[6] If anything, People seems to be the outlier here in censoring those words when most other sources don't. In fact, I'll go replace it with The Hollywood Reporter right away. Bizarre Bizarre^{Talk modern to me} 23:43, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 11 February 2023

Under "Early life" it talks about Jennifer Lopez's parents moving from Puerto Rico to U.S. "mainland." This is colonialist language. It should say "from Puerto Rico to the U.S." Just take out "mainland" as that terminology is offensive to Puerto Ricans. Thank you! 199.120.252.122 (talk) 19:45, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't that also be problematic? Puerto Rico is part of the U.S. Would one say someone moved from Guam to the U.S.? I've tried to rephrase to avoid. Gimmetrow 22:09, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
