Biden (surname) → Biden family – This article solely lists people in Joe Biden's family, so it seems that this is not a surname article, but is instead a family article, so should be renamed and rebuilt/expanded like the Roosevelt family or Bush family 70.24.250.235 (talk) 08:09, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Why is this an article?
It just rehashes what's in the Joe Biden article, and doesn't even include info on his parents and siblings.
It should be deleted.

- All first families of the united states have articles, that's why it needs to exist, even if it's in poor shape. RobotGoggles (talk) 14:54, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Family Photo
Is there a free photo available that can be used in the article's infobox? I've been looking, and all I can find is a photo from Getty Images from the 2020 Democratic National Convention. That, of course, is not free content, and I'd rather not invoke fair use on this article. Presumably, the Biden family will be present for his inauguration, but that's several months away. If anyone has a photo they've taken themselves, perhaps that would work, or if you can find a free photo of the family members together that would also work. RobotGoggles (talk) 16:19, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Why only living family members in the infobox?
RobotGoggles writes in an edit: "Removed dead members from the infobox again; of course they're notable, they have entire sections of the article dedicated to them. But the infobox is early for Current Members, not Former Members of Joe Biden's family."
I don't see the logic of this rule. We wouldn't apply it to a family that lived 70 years ago, so why apply it today? ciphergoth (talk) 16:52, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- Either we include Naomi Biden, or we don't include any of the deceased family members. We can put them in "Connected Members", but they are no longer members of Joe Biden's family, and thus should not be included in that section of the infobox. RobotGoggles (talk) 17:51, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
- When I first edited this page, I added all of Joe Biden's children to the infobox. Later, Naomi Biden was removed, and so I removed Beau Biden. It seems only fair, if we are to include family members who have passed away, we include ALL of them, not just one who happened to survive to adulthood and become attorney general of Delaware. That's completely arbitrary, and takes a stand that Beau's life was more valuable than Naomi's. To be encyclopedic, we need to arrive at a consensus; are we going to include all children in family infoboxes, or not include deceased family members? Those are the two options.
- To be clear, removing all family members from the infobox is a non-solution, it only guts the article's infobox of any reason to exist. This is the 46th POTUS' family we're talking about, vandalizing the infobox without engaging in discussion isn't WP:BOLD, it's immature and petty.
- These are our two options; Include Beau Biden and Naomi Biden, or do not include either of them. RobotGoggles (talk) 15:38, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- I think that drawing a line between living and dead makes no sense at all; there's no reason for Wikipedia to care about that. What Wikipedia cares about is notability. However we're not exactly opening the floodgates here; including both Beau and Naomi is a reasonable stance. ciphergoth (talk) 18:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on 21 January 2021
This edit request to Family of Joe Biden has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Under the Paternal Ancestry section, it says "Biden's paternal third great-grandfather, William Henry Biden (1789–1849)"... and " William Henry was the second child and son of James Biden". However, there is no evidence that he had a middle name at all. Only the William Henry Biden from Houghton Cambridgeshire had a middle name. Therefore it should read "William Biden (1789-1849)" and "William Biden was the second child...". P.S. By the way, I am currently doing research to discover the father of Richard Biden (the father of James and grandfather of William).

Semi-protected edit request on 30 March 2021: Sources as requested by cn tag
This edit request to Family of Joe Biden has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Suggested source/s to replace cn tag. In first Para there is a cn tag on the final sentence:
From 1995 to 2004, he worked at the United States Department of Justice in Philadelphia, first as Counsel to the Office of Policy Development and later as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office.[citation needed][1][2]
Here are two sources that say what I think the tag is asking to be cited. Please change the cn tag to one or both. (There is also no cite for the same fact on the main article. Although there is no cn tag on that, you may like to use the same source/s to preemptively cite it in that protected article also).49.177.61.250 (talk) 05:48, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

- Done, well found. As a side note, we usually don't need to add a quote to the reference for non-controversial statements. I've added it to Beau Biden as well. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 06:11, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Irish-American history and Irish-American culture categories
According to the introduction and the paternal ancestry section, the Biden family are Anglos who moved from Sussex, England to Maryland in the 18th century. So why are we pretending he is Irish-American instead of Anglo-American? Torchist (talk) 20:27, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- You would be referring to his paternal side, however his maternal side, whom Biden has shown more affection to, is from Ireland and migrated to the U.S. following the Irish famine. So in short he is both, but he is allowed to choose for himself what he identifies as and he has chosen Irish-American. Get over it. 37.18.134.184 (talk) 10:12, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Marriage or wedding
Please correct the sentence 'were married by a catholic priest', wedding was the only sacrament existing before Abrahan was born. It is not the priest, the peace judge, the councilman, the affidavit who makes a marriage, it is the spouses who give sacrament each other, priesthood only gives an special blessing, indicates the community the union took place, and, in sites as Spain, provides legal documents and attestation. The wrong, harmful concept of an 'authority' who marries people may come from the 'pontifex maximus', head of pagan religion and law in Rome, last caesar offered position, Graciano 2, refused it, he considered charge incompatible with his condition of Christian. In Rome, sadly this is the approach in many sites, everybody was inside a power ladder, head of it reported to another ladder above, and so on, just 'furiosus', insane, possessed, energoumenos in Greek, were allowed out of power pyramid.

Update Pets Section?
I think the pets section should be updated to reflect that Major has been rehomed, and that the Biden White House has a new German Shepherd, Commander. One source for this is https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-to-get-new-dog-and-cat-as-current-dog-gets-rehomed. I'm aware Fox News is considered an unreliable source for political news here, so if this counts as political news, you're welcome to find and use a different source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bleh12479 (talk • contribs) 05:16, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Missing grandchild
Navy Joan Roberts 4 years old by hunter Biden 47.4.5.110 (talk) 20:37, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Joe Biden's first cousin, third removed.
I did my research about Joe Biden's ancestors and family and to what I found; Edward Biden (1839-1910) of Baltimore, Maryland, who's Joe Biden's great-great-grandfather's youngest brother, had a daughter named Eugenia May Biden (1870-1897), married in 1893 to John Charles Linthicum, a U.S. Congressman from the 4th Congressional district of Maryland, serving from 1911 to 1932, making him Joe Biden's first cousin third removed-in-law.
I don't know if what I'm sending is reliable stuff to you but eh, here's great-great grandfather Joseph H Biden, and and you see Edward Biden listed as "siblings", and you see Edward's daughter Eugenia May Biden Linthicum, and there it explains to you a lot when you see Eugenia May's spouse. I don't know what's more reliable to you but the research I did on Ancestry.com and others matched a lot. Akram GameYT (talk) 07:28, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Akram GameYT, Wikipedia does not publish original genealogy research. Even if a reliable source mentions this, I see zero reason to mention such a distant relative. All humans by definition have a large number of distant relatives, and we do not clog up the encyclopedia with such trivia. Except when it comes to royal and aristocratic families.

RfC on removal of grandchildren's names
An RfC which will impact whether the names of three minor grandchildren should be removed from this article: Robert Hunter Biden II, Beau Biden, and Navy Joan. Your input at Talk:Hunter Biden#RfC about including the name of Hunter Biden's daughter is welcomed. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:28, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- I have removed them for now due to the unambiguous BLP issues posed by WP:BLPNAME and the unnecessary inclusion of non-WP:PUBLICFIGURE names; these are people who have
been covered in reliable sources without seeking such attention
, per WP:LOWPROFILE, which means we should err on the side of not naming them per BLPNAME. See also BLPNAME's admonition thatwhen deciding whether to include a name, its publication in secondary sources other than news media, such as scholarly journals or the work of recognized experts, should be afforded greater weight than the brief appearance of names in news stories
; such sourcing is lacking here. BLP issues should always err on the side of removal until / unless an unequivocal positive consensus for inclusion has been demonstrated, which isn't the case here. --Aquillion (talk) 17:54, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
NYT coverage of child
editors need to stop publishing this name prior to consensus. This page will be part of a permanent archive. SPECIFICO talk 03:22, 17 July 2023 (UTC) |

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
Recent coverage in the New York Times including in an op-ed and in a feature piece; shows that (REDACTED)’s story, and her treatment by the Biden family has caught the public imagination. A significant amount of prose has been written about her acceptance as a family member, particularly in the context of commentary regarding Joe Biden and his image. Should we include some very short and simple elaboration about (REDACTED) on this page? If so, what should the prose be? I’d propose: “the circumstances of [REDACTED]’s position in the family has been the subject of considerable media attention. In July 2023 members of the Biden family were criticised for not publicly recognising (REDACTED) as a family member. (REDACTED)’s status as a relation of the family was confirmed through DNA test after a paternity dispute between her mother and father. Her story is a frequent topic of right-wing news media.” with reference links to the NYT op-ed piece, and NYT feature piece discussing this topic While we need to be considerate of privacy, the NYT pieces indicate that the horse has bolted. (REDACTED) is already a public figure. That said, we need to make sure any content about a child is respectful and considered. I might make another proposal later about extended-protecting this page as i think it pretty inevitable that (REDACTED) will be the subject of numerous political attacks in the upcoming election cycle.

- I'd like to note that consensus on whether the name should be published or not; had not been resolved at the time of the above discussion that has been closed. I did not ignore consensus when I used the name in the above discussion Jack4576 (talk) 04:55, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- Could we engage an admin to delete any and all mentions of this child's name from this history pages?
- It is a child safety concern
- Consensus is that we need to ensure her name does not appear here or within Wikipedia's publicly accessible archive Jack4576 (talk) 05:02, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- The safety concern could affect Biden's re-election campaign, as the Biden family has consciously decided to ignore the child's existence. The President has even publicly stated that he has ‘six grandchildren'. Despite this, the child's name has been routinely cited in reliable sources such as The New York Times and CNN, so I don't understand the rationale for ignoring the name in this article. 2603:8000:3F01:90CD:1450:10C2:838F:7759 (talk) 16:19, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
the child's name has been routinely cited in reliable sources such as The New York Times and CNN.
I cannot find a single use of the child's name at CNN. There was one use in the NYTimes; but it was in a much criticized op-ed, not a news article. This is hardlyroutinely cited
. There has been one RfC and two AfD's overwhelmingly against inclusion. O3000, Ret. (talk) 16:29, 23 July 2023 (UTC)- While the child’s last name is referenced on CNN, the full name is cited on Forbes and The Independent, both of which are recognized as reliable sources. As previously mentioned, these articles are in addition to the above referenced New York Times article.

Reporting regarding unnamed grandchild
I've added "Joe Biden has been criticised in the NYT for not publicly acknowledging this grandchild. Her relationship with Joe is a prominent conservative media topic." as sentences following the granddaughter that is the child of Lunden Roberts.
I think this is a fair NPOV way to narrate this WP:WELLKNOWN political topic, and person.
The sources for those two sentences are:
Source 1 - NYT Op-Ed: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/08/opinion/hunter-biden-child.html Source 2 - NYT feature piece: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/us/politics/hunter-biden-daughter-arkansas.html
There are also numerous conservative stories covering this topic at length, but I don't think its worth citing them here necessarily as the stories are generally quite partisan. Keeping it brief in this way also avoids WP:UNDUE Jack4576 (talk) 14:20, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
- You have incorrectly added an op-ed - the opinion of a single person, suggesting it is the NYTimes talking. This is false. It has been reverted and you re-added without discussion. You attempted to start an article about this 4-year-old child and it was halted with an AfD. You attempted to add her name to another article, and it was halted by an RfC. Now you have taken your campaign here making a statement that omitting an op-ed is somehow "political censorship". No, it is not. Self-revert this and discuss. O3000, Ret. (talk) 01:08, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- If the issue was only the op-ed, why did you also remove the feature piece that notes the granddaughter is a subject of partisan coverage ? Jack4576 (talk) 01:18, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- I did not suggest it was the NYT talking. I said -in- the NYT, not -by- the NYT
- Anyway, in an effort to address this supposed issue, the prose now merely notes the prominent criticism, and the fact that this child is the topic of partisan coverage
- To claim this is a backdoor method to mention their name, is an accusation that i’m editing in bad-faith; not to mention completely ridiculous. Her name isn’t there anymore
- Given that mentioning her name is no longer an issue (her name no longer appears here) the only reason I can think you would be removing this at this point is your distaste at this story being mentioned at all. Acting on such an urge would be an inappropriate act of political censorship Jack4576 (talk) 01:16, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- But you've mentioned her name at least a dozen times after being asked not to, haven't you? GA-RT-22 (talk) 03:31, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
the only reason I can think you would be removing this at this point is your distaste at this story being mentioned at all. Acting on such an urge would be an inappropriate act of political censorship.
Would you please stop making false claims like this? In all my posts on this subject, I have never said anything like this. O3000, Ret. (talk) 11:31, 17 July 2023 (UTC)- You have multiple times expressed a distaste regarding the mentioning of this story; using a variety of linguistic approaches. It’s not false Jack4576 (talk) 16:38, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
- You cannot read my mind. You must stop these false statements on multiple articles about what my motivations. Not one more time -- understand? And
a variety of linguistic approaches
is yet another of your unending WP:PAs. O3000, Ret. (talk) 16:58, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
