List of Demi Lovato concert tours was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 07 August 2013 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Demi Lovato. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.
The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.
This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more non-binary people. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Many, but not all, non-binary people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

put they/them pronouns too, check their Instagram profileCite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).Whydidntheychangethis (talk) 21:37, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lovato's fourth studio album is mentioned as an eponymous album in the second paragraph of the article. Since Lovato's stage name is "Demi Lovato" and the album is only called "Demi" and NOT "Demi Lovato" I do not believe it is correct to describe the album as eponymous.

Demi has expressed that they only use she/her because of how often they get misgendered. There is a clear preference for using they/them, so Wikipedia should respect that instead of showing their clear bias again trans and non binary people. Ash (talk) 14:54, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I personally thought the discussion that came to the consensus of using she/her again treated the situation as more open-shut than it was, but it was discussed and the consensus was to use she/her; there's an archived thread to that effect. I don't think there's anything that says the topic couldn't be revisited (i.e. raising new context, identifying issues with how the existing consensus was reached, or just trying to see if consensus would change), but a lot of people who seem like they'd be interested in raising discussion to change pronouns to they/them (on several articles, not just this one) just show up, demand the change (with or without uncivil comments on the side), and don't seem to be seeking real discussion. Which means, ultimately, that the consensus doesn't change for one reason or another. - Purplewowies (talk) 22:04, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Weirdarpeggi: According to Lovato's Instagram bio their pronouns are they/them/she/her. Although to me this implies a partial preference for one over the other (especially in contrast to the more typical she/they), that is my own original research. Without Lovato explicitly saying so, we have no way of knowing which she would rather have used in an encyclopedia article (assuming that said encyclopedia insisted on only using one set of pronouns the entire time).
I'd personally be in favor of changing the article to use they/them pronouns. Some past discussions seemed to (deliberately?) misinterpret Lovato "adopting she/her pronouns again" as them exclusively using such, or re-identifying as cisgender, which are obviously incorrect. However, both sets are at least acceptable (i.e. we are not misgendering them by using she/her pronouns). The (mostly arbitrary) decision to use one over the other, is not indicative of a site-wide anti-trans bias on Wikipedia. Our peanut gallery of reactionaries would probably tell you quite the opposite.
I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting. And that is one of the reasons that have led me to also feel comfortable with the feminine pronoun,” Lovato explained in the interview, translated from Spanish. “I just got tired. But for that very reason I know that it is important to continue spreading the word.”
