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.
This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourcedmust be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

If the opening sentence of the article reads like a misprint, something is wrong. Since the article does not explain the pluralising of the subject, the lede does not summarise the article.
I guess that the article has been written by someone too close to the subject to see that it is non-encyc. Valetude (talk) 16:31, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.

The result of the move request was: Moved. Absence any consensus here that the move should not be reverted, or strong evidence that the prior name was wrong, it will be put back to the previous title. Future moves should be made through an WP:RM request rather than boldly. — Amakuru (talk) 15:34, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Jo Vannicola → Joanne Vannicola – The move to "Jo Vannicola" was premature. Vannicola is credited as "Joanne" in their latest work – see: the Expanse season 6 episode 6 (release date January 13, 2022)[1] and the short film Trashed (2021)[2]. Vannicola referred to themself as "Joanne" on Twitter 1 year ago, apparently after their Twitter nickname was changed to "Jo"[3]. They haven't changed the name "Joanne" in their Facebook profile.[4] And I can't find any indication that Vannicola doesn't want to be credited as "Joanne" or that they consider it to be a former name.

That tweet reads like they are referencing a former name, but otherwise it does seem like they are comfortable with both—blindlynx 20:08, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
