Higher Public Profile
editWith Mike's higher public profile following West Side Story (2021 film), there should be allowances given for additional information about his background and work (within Wiki's rules for the bios of living persons). In other words, let's not be too quick to cut new information about Mike as long as it is neutral, well-sourced, and not potentially defamatory. Friothaire (talk) 23:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
Edit request: Add mention of sister Krista Faist in Early life section
editThe article currently states that Mike Faist "was adopted by his parents, Julia and Kurt Faist" but does not mention his sister, Krista Faist. I would like to request that a mention of his sister be added to the Early life and education section.
Suggested change: In the sentence "was adopted by his parents, Julia and Kurt Faist," add that he has a sister named Krista. For example: "was adopted by his parents, Julia and Kurt Faist. He has an older sister, Krista."
Sources supporting this:
1. Kurt Faist's obituary (December 2023, Dignity Memorial) states: "In addition to raising his two children Krista and Mike, he and Julie hosted numerous foster children and foreign exchange students." (https://www.dignitymemorial.com — search for Kurt Faist, Gahanna OH)
2. AnOther Magazine profile of Mike Faist (April 24, 2024) by mentions: "His sister, Krista, calls on the way down." (https://www.anothermag.com/another-man/mike-faist-pulls-back-the-curtain)
3. Krista Faist is also referenced in a Tony Awards Facebook post where she commented on a post about Mike Faist's nomination.
Both the obituary and the AnOther Magazine article are reliable published sources that confirm Krista as Mike's sister. Thank you for considering this edit. ~2026-80692-3 (talk) 03:12, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
- WP:BLPNAME suggests that we probably shouldn't name her. But we could add that he has a sister. — Chrisahn (talk) 08:12, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
