Several users keep randomly adding in 2024 to present in his years active section in his infobox, I removed it for a reason because it was added in without a reliable source to confirm it. I’m gonna ask you guy’s politely to please stop adding it back without a source first. It even states in his career section that he’s retired from acting. 2607:FB91:1CCB:C9FE:5DC1:9447:C644:FFE0 (talk) 01:28, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They are notable because they are his children. Not his distant relatives or best friend or something. His literal children. This alone makes them notable enough to have their names in the article.
And their birthdays are, if anything, more notable. Even if you don't want to put their names in the article, you could still put their birthdays in. Usually, whenever a celebrity has a young child, we only state their birthdays and not their names, usually to protect their privacy. But seeing as Fox's children are grown, it would be understandable to name them.
My preference always tends towards removal of names in these cases. As per WP:BLPNAME; "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". Unless related family members have become notable in their own right, or their parents have actively placed them in the public eye, there is little justification for naming them. Their existence, and possibly date of birth, however, has significance to the article subject.--Escape Orbit(Talk)09:25, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
