Why nothing about his family?

edit

Articles about women usually include information about their family life, even when it isn't relevant. Why does this article not have anything at all about his family life, given that the senator makes such a big deal of sending out photos of his family? See this column for an example of how central the issue is to his image: New York Times, "The Hidden Moral Injury of OK Boomer." 49.37.24.220 (talk) 15:28, 8 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Right in the lead I am told "He married Ann Davies in 1969; they have five sons." There is plenty more (not surprisingly) in the section titled College, France mission, marriage, and children. HiLo48 (talk) 05:29, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hypocrisy with Trump, neoconservatism, and RINO label

edit

Please stop removing the well sourced edits I made that describe in detail the history of Romney's political relationship with Donald Trump, since at least 2012 to 2019, that show valuable information about the two. Also, the lead section doesn't mention his very neoconservative views and the fact that he has been pushed out of the mainstream Republican Party under Trump.

Read MOS:LEAD to better understand the function and limitations of the lead section. Neither of those claims are central to the reasons for Romney's notability, so generally do not belong in the lead section. General Ization Talk 16:32, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Is him marching in a rally or not voting for Trump in two elections central to his notability? Maurnxiao (talk) 16:37, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
No, those specific events are not. But a clear pattern of his deviating from the positions and initiatives of his party, as those matters illustrate, is. General Ization Talk 16:44, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
And the result being him pushed into the fringes of the party, but no, remove that? This doesn't cover the other part that was removed about his backpedalling with Trump. Maurnxiao (talk) 16:48, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
