Relevance of husband

Should the section on Cato Rachlew be included in the article? I believe most biographies are enhanced by outline bio details and other selected info about the subject's long-term partner. In this case I put most of it in a separate section at the end so as not to overload the beginning of an article about Lill R with stuff about Cato R. Some of it seems particularly relevant to LR's "human" story, like her older husband CR's trip to the Arctic long before hers to the Antarctic, even though the reader can only speculate about what this meant to her in real life. Also, knowing Cato was imprisoned by the Quisling regime speaks of a time in LR's life about which we know nothing else.

What would be the best way of handling this? Lelijg (talk) 08:02, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The way I see it, the section about her husband looks mostly like a biostub on Cato Rachlew stuck inside another article. It repeats several points already mentioned in the article. Biographies should certainly mention long-term partners and info about them which are relevant to the subject, but I think the necessary info should be integrated in the main text rather than put in a separate section. The article already mentions that she married Cato Rachlew, that he was a naval officer and businessman, living in London. The Arctic expedition in 1907 should probably also be mentioned in the main text. Manxruler (talk) 08:40, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I see what you mean about the biostub look. I'll try to integrate some bits later on. Lelijg (talk) 10:25, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
