Talk:Kay O'Neill

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.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

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 LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

Notes on creation

I have created this page following a request to do so on the Women in Red Project.

I consider that this person is notable because of the multiple notable awards that they have won, particularly the Eisner and Harvey awards. I do note there was an attempt to make this page in 2010, nine years ago, which was deleted "at the request of the author". That's all I could find out about the 2010 work, but I think it's moot because this person has done most of their work (and earned all the awards) well after 2010.

I have only thrown up a bare-bones article to start with. However, there are lots more sources: I have had a look for citations and I've linked them above but not yet gone through them. I also noted the following claims on the person's website that I haven't included yet because I haven't sourced them:

Aquicorn Cove was "Selected for the School Library Journal catalogue"
Tea Dragon Society Amazon.com’s Best Comics & Graphic Novels (2017) | School Library Journal’s Top 10 Graphic Novels (2017)
Princess Princess Ever After was ~~"2017 ALA Rainbow Book List Top Ten~~ (sourced) | a 2018 Sakura Medal Nominee

Reliable sources

Hi, as far as I know, Goodreads is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia as it is a user-created database of books - almost anyone can add a book to the site. I suggest using Trove or publisher websites as more reliable sources. I've given an example with the source for Princess Princess. Also, check the guidelines at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lists_of_works#Publications_(Works,_Bibliography) for the usual style for writing lists of works by the subject of an article.

Self-reported name change

O'Neill has announced that they prefer their first name to be Kay. Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biography#Changed_names, and especially Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(people)#Self-published_name_changes cover this. Based on this I would leave the article at "Katie O'Neill" for now, changing later if they become more known by "Kay", but I'd welcome discussion.
