Overall: The stuff about his personal life seems a little, uh -- it's often quite difficult to cover BLPs with appropriate caution, and we often have a paucity of sources to work with, but it nevertheless seems a little awkward to have it consist almost entirely of "he got divorced a million times and used to have a gambling problem". Not that we need to pull punches and avoid reporting on things that reflect negatively, but is there anything else we could have in there with it to avoid it being a cavalcade of badness? jp×g04:35, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @JPxG:, thanks for the comment/review! I've had a long look for any other info on his personal life, but can't find anything beyond what's already in the article. I don't mind removing it if it's going to be an issue! Pretzelles (talk) 23:45, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Pretzelles: I'd have that section say something like: Rich has been married three times.[26] He and his third wife, New York Post journalist Mary Huhn, adopted their son in 2012.[1] Huhn is the granddaughter of Henrietta Buckler Seiberling and great-granddaughter of Frank Seiberling.[27][28][29]jp×g🗯️22:04, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
