One of the citations in the Edward Frenkel article (specifically [1]) mentions that he is married to Zvezdelina Stankova (though it gives her full name as Zvezdelina Stankova-Frenkel). It has to be the same person as it also mentions that she created the San Francisco Bay Area Mathematics Circles for Youth. Is that one line enough to add their marriage? I have no idea if they are still married or not, but it seems that they were married at some point. MrAureliusRTalk! 00:12, 20 May 2022 (UTC) MrAureliusRTalk!00:12, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
An anonymous editor added this in 2017 with this source (Special:Diff/780852501) but by early 2018 anonymous editors had changed it to "was married" and in late 2018 another anonymous editor removed it with the summary "It is not fair that Zvezdalina Stankova's ex-husband is listed on her Wikipedia page and she is not listed on his" (Special:Diff/867751957). My preference would be to leave it out. WP:BLPPRIVACY would suggest doing so unless we have sourcing for the marriage being significant to her career, which it seems likely to have been but we have no such sourcing. Additionally, we only have sourcing for them being married, not for them separating, so we could only tell an incomplete and misleading story. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:22, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My guess would be someone who knows one or the other of them personally. But we're not allowed to inquire very deeply about the identity of anonymous or pseudonymous editors. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:52, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
