Filmography missing

There is no filmography 78.145.76.10 (talk) 13:51, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His filmography information is combined with his awards in the List of roles and awards of Tom Holland. Liu1126 (talk) 20:34, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding that Tom Holland is a supporter of USL Championship Team the Oakland Roots. Table19 (talk) 17:49, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I'm also questioning how notable this piece of trivia is; compiling a long list of a person's likes and dislikes in their article isn't very helpful to the casual reader.

Holland's 2019 views on film industry

I restored the 2019 views sourced to The Sunday Times, New Music Express, [1] etc. Contrary to the removing edit summary [2], I did not find that the content was a "set up to make the actor look bad"[*], or evidence that "his statements [...] were heavily misinterpreted". [*] If content makes the subject look bad, that is not in itself a just reason for removing it. _signed,Willondon (talk) 18:16, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article style

this page reads like a fan read a biography and is trying to promote him. Full of fluff. Example - did he really mature faster than his peers? This isn't the place for such nonsense. Needs a rewrite. Kateofumbar (talk) 09:45, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partner

I think Zendaya should be listed in the info box as Tom Holland's partner. GamerKlim9716 (talk) 06:14, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. The invisible comment beside the |partner= says "(unmarried long-term partner: DO NOT use for fiancé(e)s, spouses, or anyone subject is intending to marry)". However, Taylor Swift is a Featured Article and her partner of one year is in that infobox. Tom and Zendaya have been together since 2021, even if they break up, they are still worth the mention in the quick facts. dxneo (talk) 00:16, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, According to the parameter description of Template:Infobox person and the hidden comment, there is no issue with mentioning the partner in the infobox. However, I’m noticing that many experienced editors are reverting it. I wonder if they have read the parameter descriptions thoroughly before reverting! — Cerium4B —Talk? • 15:24, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MarioProtIV, Amaury and MPFitz1968, not sure if you've actually parameter description at Template:Infobox person, but it say "if particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable; "partner" here means unmarried life partners in a domestic partnership (of any gender or sexual orientation), not business partner. Use the format Name (1950–present) for current partner and Name (1970–1999) for former partner(s)." Note that there's also |spouse= which is different from |partner= So, why do y'all insist on removing the partners? dxneo (talk) 15:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The quote you used explained the reasons. Particularly look at what a domestic partnership entails. A key point is who live together and share a common domestic life which is not shown in the article - referenced info indicates they were not living together. Looks like they regularly dated each other and finally decided to get married. Classic old-fashioned courtship behavior. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:17, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry! for our mistake, and thank you for pointing out the issue! — Cerium4B —Talk? • 20:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Right now Zendaya is his fiancee. Whether they actually get married (they probably will, but couples do call off engagements from time to time) the partner category is meant to cover something else. At least at one point there was a note saying do not put someone here if there is any talk of them ever getting married. It is meant for something else and should never have been tagged under this. Closely related to this, not every time dates someone new do we need to include that even in the ariticle, but things in info boxes have a much higher inclusion criteria than things in articles themselves.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:03, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
