Talk:Lauren Sánchez

Hispanic but not Mexican-American?

what gives?--71.177.199.194 (talk) 23:15, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

She was born in New Mexico, which makes her American. Any additional categories will need to meet WP:BLPCAT and WP:EGRS requirements, that is they need to be supported by sourced article content and there should be an indication of self-identification. --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 18:33, 21 January 2013 (UTC);

She's of Mexican-American descent. The "Hispanic" label is borrowed from her own public bio used on her news anchor profiles for KCOP. --47.156.92.162 (talk) 04:41, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

U.S. Magazine states she is third-generation Mexican-American.

Affair with Jeff Bezos

I was about to add information on her alleged affair with Jeff Bezos, when I saw the notification and the recent burst in activity due to the Bezos affair. Instead of edit-warring over it, let's discuss it in the talk section. It is my opinion that this should be added. It's an important aspect of her life(perhaps why everyone has heard of her) and is verified by reliable news sources. But I would like to hear from other sides. HAL333 01:33, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

What part of We Do Not Post Gossip on Wikipedia don’t people get?! Just because news sites “report” it doesn’t mean it’s fit for her personal life section, a so-called “relationship” probably no more than 3 months old, while they’re both still married technically, is not what we do here. Wait until THEY speak on it, and then maybe we’ll reconsider. Y’all are acting like this is the first divorce in history. And no, she’s not known for this, she is well known in the L.A. area as a news personality and producer. Trillfendi (talk) 01:55, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

"Wait until THEY speak on it, and then maybe we’ll reconsider." Um, that doesn't appear anywhere on the WP guidelines you referenced. We add based on notability and reliable sources- not only if the subjects comment on it. --TheTruthiness (talk) 11:02, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Trillfendi Once again, most people have only heard of Sanchez due to her affair with Bezos. Not too many people watch local Fox News Channels in Los Angeles. Bezo's extramarital affair, or the "so called 'relationship'" as you named it, has lasted for 8 months and has resulted in them both announcing their divorces.

And please don't accuse me of sexism. Lets be honest: millions of people now know who Lauren Sanchez is because she is having an affair with the richest man in the world. If a relatively unheard of person does something notable with a notable world figure, they will be known for that. Is it antisemitism that people today only know Jack Ruby's name because he assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald? No, it is because that is what made him a well-known person. And it is true that we do not post gossip on Wikipedia. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't post recent news regarding sex and affairs. I invite you to look at Trump's page and the information regarding his affairs. And on top of that, there are many reliable sources regarding the affair.HAL333 02:40, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

If the “affair has lasted 8 months” as the media claim (without proof or contacting representatives, for that matter), then why in September 2018, did Bezos speak about his wife in the present tense about their courtship and marriage when asked in a public interview in front of hundreds of people? Timeline just doesn’t add up. Just because reliable sources—or unreliable since this seems to have originated with the goddamn National Enquirer—report on it doesn’t mean the policies regarding BLP change all of a sudden. Hell, Ariana Grande’s page wasn’t allowed to be updated with anything regarding Pete Davidson, even with reliable sources from the get-go, until he got on national tv to confirm their engagement, which I thought was absurd but you know how young love goes. I get why people want to rush here to vandalize this article (I asked for its protection and when it expires today I foresee myself having to request extended protection), but people’s alleged sexual escapades whether it’s with the richest man or not is not what goes in the personal life section at all. For anybody. Not even Mick Jagger. This article is about her career in entertainment, she’s not Pamela Des Barres.

The difference between Trump and Bezos is that Trump’s “mistress” got pregnant quickly and they married. The other “mistress”... well he had her paid $130k to not talk about it and it’s now under federal investigation. No correlation. So instead of trying to be the “first” to report rumors, for God’s sake it’s only been 2 days, let’s wait to see how it plays out when the divorce is settled, if it becomes a real relationship, and then all come together to decide when to put it there. Trillfendi (talk) 07:33, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

"This article is about her career in entertainment" This article isn't titled "Entertainment career of Lauren Sánchez" but "Lauren Sánchez" so it's about her overall. It had a section about her personal life already, the question is if this alleged affair meets the guidelines for addition. Stick to that argument and please avoid making up your own rules or personal attacks like accusations of sexism. --TheTruthiness (talk) 11:09, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

I’m not “making up rules” I’m advocating the adherence of policy that is applied to every person’s page. There was a time when any mention of Prince Harry was removed from Meghan Markle’s personal life section... being royalty clearly didn’t make him above that. Saying Sánchez is “more known” for an alleged “affair” that was only reported less than 72 hours ago, based on some Texas sharp shooting, than a career that has been previously documented by likes of The Hollywood Reporter and Washington Post (ironic...), is a sexist statement plain and simple. And again, my God, the only reason people came over here was to specifically vandalize the article, not state facts; and put gossip. Where else on Wikipedia is that accepted or acceptable? Before this, her personal life section consisted of marriage and kids—not rumors. As it should be. Why can’t we just do what we do with everyone else’s article and wait to see how it goes when the dust settles after a while? What happened to principles? Trillfendi (talk) 11:47, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Since you seem opposed to adding it to Personal Life, would it be better if it is a new section is created? HAL333 17:16, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

I have requested semi-protection until the end of year of this article so the trolls can stop vandalizing so we can properly sort this out. Page Six (not the most reliable source) claims Sánchez and Bezos will attend the Oscars together (doubtful in many ways, but who knows) but if that happens, maybe if they talk to the reporters as a “couple” it could go from there. If not then I think we should wait for more concrete evidence besides “sources say”. Trillfendi (talk) 03:34, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Hollywood Reporter [1] and PEOPLE have both confirmed the relationship, so this is clearly not just a National Enquirer story. In light of the fact that all the pre-scandal sources from Lauren's page were exclusively from Hollywood Reporter and PEOPLE, they are clearly considered legitimate and reliable sources. I strongly urge Trillfendi to adhere to Wikipedia:Ownership of content and Wikipedia:Assume good faith policies, and refrain from further Wikipedia:Edit warring--Bill Quantrill (talk) 05:30, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

The Hollywood Reporter literally said “according to Page Six”, a tabloid. People didn’t even reach out to representatives for comment instead putting “Source” in headlines. So yes I will continue “edit warring” along the lines of “Scandal mongering, promoting things "heard through the grapevine" or gossiping. Articles and content about living people are required to meet an especially high standard, as they may otherwise be libellous or infringe the subjects' right to privacy. Articles must not be written purely to attack the reputation of another person.” By you randoms coming here just to vandalize this page and call her a mistress (which y’all did before I requested protection of the page) that’s exactly what’s happening. And what you’re doing is not doing good faith nor do I “own” the article. Use common sense. By the way, the note was placed for people like you to stop, read it, and think, not put bs next to it. This story is barely even a week old. Wait a minute. Trillfendi (talk) 06:13, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

This is now front page news in the New York Times, plus Bezos is getting divorced and has obliquely acknowledged the relationship in a personal blog post. It's time to add this to the article. Jpatokal (talk) 01:12, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

All the man said National Enquirer is trying to extort him. The man made no acknowledgement of alleged affair itself or confirmation and Amazon spokespeople declined to comment on the post. But what do I know. Trillfendi (talk) 01:25, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Spouses

What is happening about her marriage?.. Charlotte Peek (talk) 15:51, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Ethnicity

It is misleading about her ethnicity. Her parents are mexican american. Her dna can be 80% european because of all her spanish blood. It seems like alot of effort to stay away from the mexican word...smh 2600:1700:943A:15F:AF62:9548:47AF:8DE9 (talk) 12:30, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Not clear on why that was changed. I've reverted it to the source that's given. If someone has other sources that meet our criteria for WP:RS then those would need to be added explicitly. Sam Kuru (talk) 13:39, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
