Married in 2020 or 2021?

I've found conflicting sources. This article by CBS News says Baena and Plaza married in 2021 on their 10 year anniversary, and this interview with Plaza verifies they married on their 10 year anniversary, which should be 2021 since they got together in 2011. A few other sources also correspond with this like Harper's Bazaar. However this article by GQ says they married in 2020. I'm more inclined to believe the year 2021, but thoughts? jolielover♥talk 17:20, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From a Plaza interview I recall, she said they married right after 'the COVID lockdown', which to me implies 2020 but is still unclear, especially depending on where they were living.

Of course, unless there is a source that quotes either of them giving a specific year (and ideally it would also address the discrepancy, i.e. a "we married in 2020 but only mentioned it in 2021"), or perhaps a source deemed 'superior' to others – e.g. by publication date or a plausible connection that would make it reasonably more authoritative than other sources (which seem to by and large be going off when Plaza first mentioned it) – then we must use what is stated by the majority of reliable sources, which looks to be 2021. This can (in the article body, not infobox) be accompanied by a footnote with some explanation of the lack of clarity and other sources suggesting 2020.

Information about his death

As per the recent death template, initial information about the death may be unreliable. Information published in celebrity gossip websites and other publications with low editorial standards are more likely to be inaccurate. Due to the importance of publishing true and accurate information, and holding the most respect for Baena's family, references to the circumstances surrounding the death should come from sources which are more credible.

just for my own edification, what other examples of "low editorial standards" would Wiki categorize as being? The same info citing a 'law enforcement source' is out on People Magazine as well but personally I wouldn't rate them much higher than TMZ...would that also be of low standard?
