The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article relates to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them.
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 does not match what is 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 of living persons 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.

Having checked all of the listed references, only one used Keyworth's preferred personal pronouns, so the article should reflect the majority and use "she", "her", etc. Keyworth's preference should not be the overriding factor. Seasider53 (talk) 09:39, 8 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
According to the manual of style articles should: Refer to any person whose gender might be questioned with the name and gendered words (e.g. pronouns, man/woman/person, waiter/waitress/server) that reflect the person's most recent expressed self-identification as reported in the most recent reliable sources, even if it does not match what is most common in sources.

The statement given in "Personal life" is: "They are non-binary and use she/he/they/them pronouns". Does this mean we are free to use any of those pronouns, as the sources dictate? Or do we have to stick to "they" and "Keyworth"? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:01, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sorry Matinevans123, I only just spotted your question. Since the "soft launch of ‘they’" in 2022 there does seem to have been a shift. Reviews of Keyworth's latest show "My Eyes Are Up Here" use a mixture of they and Keyworth: eg The Guardian, Broadway World, and Chortle.
Perhaps more importantly, the promotional materials for the show (eg) use they/their consistently. This would have been prepared by Keyworth and/or their agent so will presumably reflect their preferences. As that is the approach taken, I think using they/their and Keyworth in this article is in-line with policy and current usage. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
