Hi LaraNilsson2014, re your recent additions to the lede, wouldn't it be more appropriate to include them in the definition section? Also the focus of this article is with genre fiction romances, rather than literary fiction romances, like those of, say, Nathaniel Hawthorne, or the Brontë family, though clearly they are linked. I started creating a new article Romance (literary fiction) in my sandbox. Rwood128 (talk) 15:41, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This new material is too much for the lead, would be more appropriate in the definitions section, and some of it appears to be alternate definitions and opinions and probably should be noted as such.—Anita5192 (talk) 17:45, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
