::So as discussed as [[Talk:Kiev]] (of all places) it's been pointed out that we don't actually have a real "deadname policy", we just have [[T:ACTOR]] which doesn't cover all cases. Hopefully Czech meant this coming Monday when he said the forums will be up and he didn't miss the deadline - we'll likely discuss the issue when the forums are up. With that said, I don't think it likely that we'll remove the info from this particular page, for the reason that Jack mentioned.

: Yes — the deadname is just… part of the story. Eleanor's a somewhat less obvious case, but we ''have'' seen what are very much coming-out narratives in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' — ''[[The Wonderful Doctor of Oz (novel)|The Wonderful Doctor of Oz]]'', for example — and it just wouldn't make any sense to taboo the fictional deadname when trying to discuss a story of that kind. | |||
: That being said, what ''has'' emerged is that the deadname should be ''mentioned'' in-text, but ''not'' bolded or placed in the infobox's "aliases" field in a way that would imply that it's a valid alternate name for the character under discussion. | |||
: The writing of this page was also less than ideal in describing her as having been "born male"; that language certainly shouldn't be used, and I've edited it as appropriate. <span style="color: #baa3d6;font-family:Comic Sans;">[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']]</span> <span style="color: #baa3d6;">[[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]]</span> 21:05, 24 November 2022 (UTC) | |||
