Including children's names

The name of the subject's second child with Schwarzenegger has been removed per WP:BLPNAME, which states, in part, "The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons." It continues, however, to state, "The names of any immediate, former, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject." (Emphasis mine.)

The name of the subject's child has been widely disseminated and published by RS, including the Los Angeles Times; USA Today; Entertainment Weekly; The Cut; Huff Post (who have even set up a tag category for her, seen here); ABC News; etc, etc, etc.

Unlike, say, Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black, who do not release face photos of their child, Pratt and Schwarzenegger have released the name of their child and their picture on Instragram. When something is so widely published and easily found on literally any search site, it seems an omission to not include it in their WP article.

For me, I tend to focus on whether the names are relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject. A reader doesn't need to know the name of a non-notable child to understand that they were born. Even more so in cases like this where the only mention is 'X and Y had a baby called Z'. If there was additional mentions of the children where the names were needed for context then that would be a no brainer. As it stands, I don't see a need to include. – ².O.^Boxing 19:38, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

I agree with Squared.Circle.Boxing. BLPNAME also states that "When deciding whether to include a name, its publication in secondary sources other than news media, such as scholarly journals or the work of recognized experts, should be afforded greater weight than the brief appearance of names in news stories. Consider whether the inclusion of names of living private individuals who are not directly involved in an article's topic adds significant value." Since the name has only been published in some basic news articles, and it does not seem add any significant value to the article, I see no reason why it should be included. Although she has a very beautiful name, I don't see how including it will give the reader a complete understanding of the subject, i.e., Chris Pratt. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 07:21, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

"...which is affiliated with the Hillsong Church." There is incorrect and there isn't a source for this. Someone said Chris was a part of Hillsong which was incorrect and Zoe Church is a separate entity. Jadbgau (talk) 02:05, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Not done. The cited source has "However, Zoe is associated with Hillsong, which does make its views on gay issues clear.". --Mvqr (talk) 11:28, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
