Her Persian heritage[edit]

https://chroniclevitae.com/news/1412-say-nothing-or-say-no

Here she speaks about herself, mentioning it, in case her name does not give it away — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.59.182.6 (talk) 21:21, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

She says she is of Puerto Rican-Persian heritage. Given this is a WP:BLP, this is not enough to state in the lede that her nationality is "Iranian-American." I googled this and literally not one source refers to Kristen Ghodsee as an "Iranian-American." So until a source is found that says otherwise, it should be removed from the article.--C.J. Griffin (talk) 05:30, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved that detail to a new section "personal life". The removal of the Farsi spelling of her names is unneccessary, please re-add. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.219.111.116 (talk) 06:44, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
