Sasha Velour

I'm not exactly sure how we confirm whether or not user names belong to a notable individual, or if some random person is just using their name, but should we add User:Sashavelour, who contributed to the Sasha Velour article? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:38, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Should deceased Wikipedians with articles be listed here?

Hello. I am asking about what is the inclusion criteria of this list: only living Wikipedians with articles should be listed here, or all? I am asking this because I have discovered that Jory Prum who had an untimely death in 2016, was a Wikipedian: User:Jory. Thank you in advance for your input. Al83tito (talk) 23:05, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone ahead and added him to the list. Please feel free to weigh in at any time. Thank you. Al83tito (talk) 22:02, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles → Wikipedia:Notable people who have edited Wikipedia – Many on this list have made few edits or even just one, often to their own biography (examples 1, 2, 3). Calling someone who made one edit 10 years ago a "Wikipedian" is misleading: you wouldn't call someone who smoked one cigarette 10 years ago a "smoker". In addition, in the spirit of WP:BLPCAT, we should avoid labelling someone a "Wikipedian" when we have no reason to believe they would identify as such. Adrian J.

Strongly support, per WP:BEANS. The present title implies that editors should seek having "their WP:OWN" articles and that it's a badge of honor. And I also agree with the nom's arguments, though I don't find it the most compelling reason. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 05:02, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support - more accurate and neutral title.--Staberinde (talk) 20:18, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. b uidhe 17:45, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Red links

There are several red-linked names (not usernames) in the list. Should these be removed? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:22, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Sadly, if their articles were deleted, then it was probably at AFD due to lack of notability. The title of the article is "notable" people who have edited Wikipedia. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:39, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support – It seems that every red link in this list stems from a deleted article. I suspect this list escaped the usual clean-up after the deletion of an article only because it's it's not in Wikipedia's main article space. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:19, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per the above. Double sharp (talk) 07:37, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:01, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add Zendaya

As can be seen on this video from GQ on YouTube, Zendaya created User:ActuallyZendaya96 and made one edit. This makes her a "notable person who has edited Wikipedia." Should I go ahead and add her? 2405:201:4013:814F:C0DF:5836:9D30:3AB6 (talk) 23:54, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
