I am seeing a ♥ in Suffixes. Is there a wikitree reason for this?

Hi Edward. Could you please give an example, preferably an orphaned profile? I couldn't find any cases with a WikiTree Plus search, but perhaps what you saw is too recent to be included there.

Thanks Gillian. Indeed too new to be in WT+. There's this:

It should never be a suffix acquired after death or a suffix the person themselves would not have used.

Others in the Devenport family tree besides Hoium-10 have that suffix. I manage Davenport-6091 and there are numerous descendants with the symbol.

Since it falls well outside of WikiTree guidelines and policies, I think you can remove it as Sandra did on Mabel Hoium's profile.  For orphans and profiles you manage, just do it.  For profiles managed by others, you might take a more diplomatic approach.  Or be bold

I'll start with diplomacy and see what that goes. Thanks.
