This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

"One Direction's Harry Styles & Louis Tomlinson Declared As Partners By Wikipedia & Fans Can't Keep Cool As They Recall 'Larry Stylison'". Koimoi. 22 February 2022. One Direction's eagle-eyed fans have now recently pointed out that Wikipedia is now addressing Louis Tomlinson as Harry Styles' partner in the 'About' section of the singer, the same has been done on Louis' wiki page.

Relationship status

Can the fact that Harry has been in a relationship with Taylor Russell since 2023 please added to the Relationships section? They have been dating for around a year and there are multiple credible sources in line with the sourcing for his other relationships, yet this seems to be removed by a specific user. This has not been editorialised. I am concerned that this has been brigaded by conspiracy theorists who believe in the Larry Stylinson ship and therefore refuse to allow this to be added. Bloopyfloop (talk) 10:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What WP:BLP-good WP:RS have you got? You can find some examples of what is wanted in the relationships section. No good source, no mention. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Admin if i may interject. This wiki member has tried to change harry styles and taylor russells relstionship status multiple times despite multiple long standing wiki members 19 years plus on here and myself telling her that the sources shes cited are not only not sufficient but neither party has directly stated theyre in a relationship. Then she attempted to start an argument with me over same. I do not understand what her incessant need to be this involved is but please do not pay her any attention. Bettyboots12368 (talk) 08:53, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further admin she quite frankly sounds very immature referring to fan ships in a wikipedia talk page. Multiple wiki members who again are very long standing have repeatedly retracted her amendments due to lack of good sources. She is behaving very improperly. Bettyboots12368 (talk) 08:56, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While People is an ok source, if what there is is stuff like [1], then IMO, we can wait for better sources. WP doesn't have to join the spotting. "Biographies of living persons ("BLPs") must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives." Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:06, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People reported them to be "fairly serious" in a recent article (this) which coincides with interviews of Taylor's referring to them as a couple (here) and Vogue labelling them an "It couple" [2] Bloopyfloop (talk) 14:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add the following to Harry Styles' section on Philanthropy and advocacy:

In 2022 and 2023, following the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, Styles partnered with the nonprofit organization Everytown for Gun Safety for 44 shows across five cities in North America as part of his LOVE ON TOUR.^[1] Styles and Live Nation donated $1 million dollars to the Everytown Support Fund, the education, research, and litigation arm of Everytown. Throughout the partnership, volunteers with Students Demand Action, one of Everytown’s grassroots networks, tabled at shows to spread awareness about the gun safety movement and encourage fans to join efforts to end gun violence in America.^[2] The partnership between Styles and Everytown earned industry recognition, winning a Pollstar Award for the brand partnership/live campaign of the year. Reignstyles (talk) 19:19, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: As the last statement wasn't cited I have not added it. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 02:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I made this account explicitly because I noticed this. Extremely funny but definitely vandalism. I think you should remove anything in bold.

"From 2017 to 2018, Styles was in a relationship with French-American model Camille Rowe, who inspired his 2019 album Fine Line. From January 2021 to November 2022, Styles was in a relationship with actress and director Olivia Wilde, whom he met on the set of Don't Worry Darling. Rolling Stone said in 2022, "If Styles is already held up to a high standard, his potential partners are held to an unreachable one for some of his fans." From June 2023 to May 2024, Styles dated Canadian actress Taylor Russell. [No need to repeat the BLP violation here.] 11ntosea (talk) 21:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's already been taken care of.CRBoyer 21:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Separate Cultural impact article

I think there is a need for a separate cultural impact article similar to those for Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, BTS etc as the current section does not cover Harry's full impact with film adaptations, cultural ubiquity, fashion, environmentalism, in the music industry (residencies, impact on the British music industry) etc but I wanted to seek consensus from others.

@Bloopyfloop if you do not get responses in the next week, you are welcome to move Draft:Cultural impact of Harry Styles to mainspace. See Help:How to move a page. S0091 (talk) 19:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
