Presumption in favour of privacy

I have removed the paragraph that gave details about Alexander's ex-boyfriend, presuming in favour of privacy. A disinterested, encyclopedic article shouldn't give lists of previous romantic partners unless there is something directly notable about the former relationship. Keri (talk) 10:52, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Compare the article on Elizabeth Taylor: the former relationships are perfectly relevant -- they are part of the life story of a prominent person. You removing them suggests an attitude that these relationships are the celebrity's "dirty secret". The material should be reinstated!
