Question about Mj Rodriguez

I know it says in her article that her father is Puerto Rican and African-American origin. I'm just curious, is she through her father of Afro-Puerto Rican descent? She is really pretty. 2001:569:7D97:D200:C450:A11:5371:2D66 (talk) 06:11, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Our article Afro–Puerto Ricans defines the term as referring to "Puerto Ricans who are of predominant or partial African descent". So if her father is African-American and Puerto Rican, this implies he is an Afro-Puerto Rican, making her "of Afro-Puerto Rican descent" through her father – although the term is not used in the article. --Lambiam 07:23, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. If her father was born in the mainland to a mainland African-American and "white" Puerto Rican, the islanders who consider themselves Afro–Puerto Ricans might not accept him as one. We would need to know more. Rmhermen (talk) 01:03, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Bob Marley's wife/widow

Did Bob Marley's wife Rita Marley have a stroke recently or something? There is online video that her daughter took of her mother talking back in January sounding like she had/has a stroke: https://www.dancehallmag.com/2021/01/09/news/rita-marley-is-not-dead-cedella-marley-shares-video-with-her-mom-to-dispel-rumors.html And it was to dispel rumors that she passed on. 2001:569:7D97:D200:C450:A11:5371:2D66 (talk) 21:21, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In 2016. Nothing reported more recently. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:28, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
