Nyle DiMarco is NOT the First Deaf Person to Perform on "Dancing With the Stars"![edit]

Nyle is NOT the only deaf person to perform on "Dancing With the Stars"! He is the first deaf MALE to perform. Marlee Matlin was the FIRST deaf person and the FIRST deaf female to perform on the show. Please correct your page on Nyle to reflect this. Thanks!

Possible change in intro[edit]

Hi,

Could you change "with professional dancer Peta" to "with his professional dance partner, Peta"? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CE95:57B0:25A1:8A5:BB8E:B686 (talk) 22:13, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Tenebrae (talk) 22:38, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday[edit]

Nyle confirmed on Mother's Day 5/8/2016 that it was his birthday through his personal Snap Chat account. I'm unsure about the year but May 8th is definitely his birthday. Not to mention he celebrated it on Dancing with the Stars' All Access show and tweeted about it on the actual day and also received numerous "Happy Birthday" from his friends and co-stars. I'm unsure if Twitter is a reliable source, otherwise I would have placed it. He was 25 in 2015 during his stint on America's Next Top Model so it would definitely put him between 26-27 years of age. CloudKade11 (talk) 08:18, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is reliable because it is published by the subject and there is no real doubt about its authenticity, so I've added it. WP:BLPSELFPUB has the policy on self-published material. You could also certainly cite DWTS All Access - I couldn't locate an archive of that though. (do they keep those on abc.com?) MisterRandomized (talk) 09:30, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fully done. Thanks for the Instagram cite. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:53, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ANTM show has ended[edit]

I suggest changing "and also the first Deaf winner of The CW's America's Next Top Model Cycle 22 in 2015." to "and the only Deaf winner of The CW's America's Next Top Model Cycle 22, for its final season in 2015." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CE95:57B0:7871:A7CB:20A6:FED3 (talk) 00:37, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The show is moving to VH1, according to this. Frankly, I don't think there is much of a difference between "first" and "only," except first is a word choice that is not going to become outdated.Knope7 (talk) 02:10, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that link! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CE95:57B0:25A1:8A5:BB8E:B686 (talk) 01:23, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization of "deaf"?[edit]

Hello, all,

The capitalization of "Deaf" looks wrong to me. We don't normally capitalize a physical attribute (tall, blind, thin). In English we capitalize nationalities because they are proper nouns. (What's a proper noun? A noun that is capitalized. Why is it capitalized? Because it's a proper noun. A circular argument to be sure but that's the way it is.) Some people capitalize "Black" and "White" when they refer to races. Does anyone know the Wikipedia policy on capitalizing "blind" and "deaf"? Is it OK if I am bold and put it in lower case? DBlomgren (talk) 03:29, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I changed them all to lowercase, as it should be. 17.255.233.9 (talk) 02:50, 27 March 2017 (UTC) Darwin[reply]

Some were changed or new additions were uppercase so I changed to l/c. 72.78.186.52 (talk) 04:46, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Within the Deaf community there is a marked difference between "Deaf" and "deaf". Lowercase "deaf" refers to the physical attribute. Uppercase "Deaf" refers to the cultural. Nyle, being part of the 4th generation of deafness in his family, identifies as culturally Deaf. It should be uppercase.--72.34.103.208 (talk) 01:19, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DWTS[edit]

I'm surprised no one mentioned this: Nyle DiMarco Just Made History with DWTS First Same-Sex Dance

He was partnered with Keo Motsepe. I'm too lazy to edit the article, but if anyone else wants to, please be my guest. 63.92.241.249 (talk) 04:12, 18 February 2017 (UTC) Darwin[reply]
