Talk:Gender-neutral title

The former source for this article is this wiki, which does not meet WP:RS, and unfortunately neither do most of the sources therein (except the petition, perhaps. For this reason, I've tagged the page with {{disputed}}: I'm sure gender-neutral titles are used by some people, but this article does not establish the notability of the ones listed and they might be made up by bloggers without any real-world use.

There are a few more reliable sources now (that are not wikis) - are there any disputes that can be removed? Cassian (talk) 14:33, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Many words and concepts entering popular use recently have arisen from the internet, 'bloggers', etc. Internet use or origin should not be used to disparage a concept or its validity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.47.18.240 (talk) 09:30, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

I've removed the {{disputed}} tag because there are a lot more sources in the article now. If anyone would like to do so, adding a new {{disputed}} tag is fine - specify here what exactly the problems are and we can try to find good sources for the claims.

Stands to reason (IMHO) that this page should be titled "Gender-neutral title", but I'm aware that seemingly innocuous MoS moves often conjure a maelstrom of controversy, so I figured I had better ask here first. Joefromrandb (talk) 23:23, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

There is no need to mention the professional titles, they are not honorifics, which is what this article is about. There are dozens of professional neutral titles, this is about the attempt to include a gender neutral title as a honorific, which it currently lacks. Mentioning the professional titles is just trivia that everyone already knows.★Trekker (talk) 09:02, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

It's worth noting that the article includes {{Social titles}} which lists Dr as a title. Are you suggesting that should also be changed? Lineslarge (talk) 11:04, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Actually English honorifics seems to disagree with your point. It includes professional titles. Lineslarge (talk) 11:08, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

I disagree with all those things but maybe some sources doesn't. Well I can't argue against verifiable sources even when I think they're full of shit. I'll leave it be.★Trekker (talk) 20:16, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

'A gender neutral title is a title that does not indicate the gender of the person being formally addressed' is offensive, TBH. 'Indicating the gender' implies that there is a valid binary gender choice that is just being obfuscated, instead of the fact that the binary gender system may not fit or apply to the person being referenced. Perhaps '... does not limit the gender...' or '... allows other than binary genders to be addressed'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.47.18.240 (talk) 09:34, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
