Siblings

[edit]

Offhand, the only thing citable I could find on O'Brien's siblings was from 2005. Today I received email from O'Brien confirming that the article in general got it's facts right (yay!) but adding, "My siblings are older now and in different jobs, Ronan is Chief Council [sic] at Pear Therapeutics, Gemma Wenstrom is the COO at Kaia Health, Patrick is the Director of Marketing at Beats, and Kate Draheim is Senior Manager-Energy Procurement & Renewables at IHG Hotels & Resorts[.]" I realize private correspondence can't be cited in Wikipedia. I'm going to look and see if I can cite for any of this, though it would be tricky to prove that the particular people I might find citations for are, indeed, the same people as her siblings. - Jmabel | Talk 21:04, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Give or take the issue of proving these are the same people as her siblings:

So I'm sure this is accurate, but I'm not at all sure it reaches Wikipedia's standards of verifiability. Jmabel | Talk 21:17, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As discussed at WP:RSN, the real problem here is that we shouldn't have the details on the siblings at all. They are not independently notable nor do their careers intersect with the subject's. As such, it's better to delete that sentence altogether, just leaving the first sentence of the paragraph that says she has siblings. We can assume that they have names and likely jobs. (I'd do this edit myself if I wasn't avoiding article editing in general.) ---Nat Gertler (talk) 05:08, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
