Following the deletion of Personal life of Jennifer Lopez (AfD), I feel that this article should be deleted for similar reasons. The WP:INDISCRIMINATE details of this piece read like a WP:TABLOID or WP:FANCRUFT. Moreover, this violates one of the fundamental principals of WP:BLP - "Biographies of living persons ("BLP"s) must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid" - and is full of WP:BLPGOSSIP. The article contains next to no out-of-universe commentary from verifiable or reliable independent sources. At the very most, transwiki to Wiktionary. SplashScreen (talk) 22:32, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Delete Article violates WP:BLP of Jennifer Lopez. Lopez would be critical of wikipedia based on this article. --Artene50 (talk) 02:49, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Redirect to Jennifer Lopez#2002–03: J to tha L-O! The Remixes, This Is Me... Then and Bennifer. Having an article on this relationship is tabloidesque and not encyclopedic, but it could be a search term. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:30, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Delete - Even a Lifetime movie about them may be more notable than the real-life relationship itself. Also, the whole article speaks only real-life events that made neither significance nor impact. --George Ho (talk) 20:35, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Delete covered better in their individual articles. Misplaced Pages is not a tabloid. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:55, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to Jennifer Lopez#2002–03: J to tha L-O! The Remixes, This Is Me... Then and Bennifer, as the creator of the page. It should be noted that SplashScreen, although correct in this manner, has a tendency to nominate several articles of mine for deletion (also without notifying me).

Strong Keep Not every celebrity relationship is notable, but this one is probably the most noteworthy coupling I can imagine, in part for popularizing this particular meme in pop culture of the combined name, but also just because it has been so heavily-ingrained into popular culture.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 22:35, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

I completely agree with you, which is why I began the article in the first place. Statυs (talk) 06:52, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Note that Fox News' assertion is entirely wrong; the trend-setting celebrity portmanteau was Pickfair. And The Devil's Advocate's "popular culture" argument breaks WP:LOCALFAME and WP:INTHENEWS. SplashScreen (talk) 17:15, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Keep. Their relationship was notable and affected their careers, both in negative way I guess. However, I still think this article has enough information to stand of its own.— Tomica (talk) 12:15, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
