Regarding academic work on Gender Identity

Wikipedia allows for all *relevant* biographical details to be published, as long as they are not trivia. Therefore, Alison's participation in panel talks, when noteworthy, should be included in her biography. Nauseous Man (talk) 23:32, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nauseous Man, please see Formal fallacy. She's an academic. She spoke at a panel. So? Also, please don't patronize by using the person's first name. Drmies (talk) 01:24, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, it's a biography, i'm not talking to the person, therefore using first names is entirely appropriate. You're right, however. The fact alone that it was a public debate isn't news worthy, but in the context of a public debate about Trans rights it is. I'll edit it to make it more clear/. Nauseous Man (talk) 04:37, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted your change Nauseous Man. The information is trivial, non-notable and if you attempt to go against consensus here and re-insert the detail without getting consensus first, you may end up getting blocked. Also, please also note WP:3RR. Lourdes 05:32, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Lourdes. And no, Nauseous Man, using her first name is not appropriate unless you're a boor. As for the panel--she was on the program, but doesn't appear in the coverage of it. So unless I missed something, you have no leg to stand on. Drmies (talk) 15:25, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So far as I can tell Professor Heather is not quoted, she was supposed to be present at this panel but the reader has no idea what exactly she said or if she even showed up. And none of the references are dated after the panel so the reader is left to conjecture that the Professor was actually there....but we don't really know if she was, do we.

Last name?

Her last name here is Heather, but some of the papers are shown under the last name of Death. The statement that her name used to be Death was in the infobox, but is no longer. I'd like to see that change referenced.Naraht (talk) 14:52, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

if there's a source that confirms that Alison Heather was Death earlier, please put the name back in the infobox. Thanks, Lourdes 17:38, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
