*:::::I disagree. A candidate is a/the person who stands for a position. I am that person. If it was a record of the names on the ballot, it should be much clearer about that. If it was clearly that (it's not), there should at least be a right to redact such information [[User:Yndajas|Yndajas]] ([[User talk:Yndajas|talk]]) 03:05, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
*::::::It doesn't matter if you disagree. We're not going to change how we source articles to make one person happy. I strongly suspect that just going and changing the table column to read "Name on the ballot" would do nothing to assuage you. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''']] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] 😼 </span> 03:06, 29 July 2018 (UTC)<br />Done: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=City_of_York_Council_election,_2015&type=revision&diff=852455613&oldid=852276413&diffmode=source]. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''']] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] 😼 </span> 03:13, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
*:::::::The thing is I'm talking here about an issue that affects many, many trans people, not just me. And for others it's often a more serious issue. It's not just to make me happy. And no, I wouldn't be assuaged by that change, but I would understand the intensely rigid resistance a little better and it would be having a different discussion about how to deal with the deadnaming issue in a different context [[User:Yndajas|Yndajas]] ([[User talk:Yndajas|talk]]) 03:17, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
* We literally had a discussion about this 3 weeks ago. Do we need to have yet another one? EEng might need to start a counter for gender-related discussions. --[[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 02:35, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
*:Who had this discussion? What was the outcome? Do you have a link? [[User:Yndajas|Yndajas]] ([[User talk:Yndajas|talk]]) 02:41, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
