Template talk:Infobox musical artist
Since it seems likely that |associated_acts= will soon be removed from this template (see here), is it finally time to add |spouse= and |partner=? Upon a cursory search of the archives, it seems that we last had an RfC about this matter exactly 10 years ago, by which time the parameters had been requested over 23 times.

| Ferdinand Marcos is a controversial figure, recently there's been disagreement whether or not to use the term "kleptocrat" in the opening paragraph of this article, especially in a first-person tone. I find it disconcerting that other figures who can be compared to Marcos as similar such as Suharto has no mention of "kleptocrat" in any part of the article. Other figures in listed in the example section of the Kleptocracy wiki (Kleptocracy#Examples) has little or no mention of the term "kleptocrat" in their respective wikis as such I find this wiki odd. Another point I have raised is the term has become a pejorative in common parlance and I have discouraged its use when there are neutral alternatives of the term and I find its use in an encyclopedia unsuitable.
