Because of | Because mainstream society often lacks representation of nonbinary gender, the Nonbinary Wiki is not as strict regarding references as other wikis (such as Wikipedia). Blogs and other social media may be used as references if they are the only available source. If an identity is [[Nonbinary Wiki:Uncommon identities|considered uncommon]], it should be tagged with the {{tl|uncommon identity}} template, but it should not be deleted unless this policy demands it. | ||
Pages that are not about a person or an identity are acceptable as long as they provide more information on nonbinary or transgender topics (such as [[transition]]). If you think an article shouldn't be here, open a new thread in the article's talk page exposing your arguments. | |||
In any case, original research is not allowed; the Nonbinary Wiki is not a place to coin new terms or pronouns, but to document existing ones. References that are tied to the editor who adding the content or that have been created specifically to work around this policy will be removed, together with the referenced content. | |||
=== Inclusion of biographies === | |||
A person is considered notable and acceptable in the wiki if some kind of media or source has talked about them and one of the following conditions is true: | |||
# Their identity somehow falls outside the [[gender binary]]. | |||
# They are relevant to the nonbinary community, even if they have a binary identity (such as activists, authors of stories with representation, etc). | |||
Social media (such as Twitter or personal blogs) are not enough justification for the inclusion of a biography. | |||
=== Inclusion of gender identities === | |||
In order to keep the wiki accurate to the lived experiences of nonbinary people, identities should only be included in the wiki if they cite from at least two separate external sources showing: | |||
# Origin (such as a source about how the term was coined, or at least history of the term's use) | |||
# Evidence that the identity has actually been used as someone's own identity. Acceptable evidence includes presence in at least one Gender Census result, a news article or published nonfiction book describing an actual person using it. | |||
A person | A design for a pride flag does not count toward origin or evidence of use. A personal blog written by the person who coined the term or claiming to use the term does not count toward evidence of use. A source citation of a web page counts if it is either a live link, or an archived page of a dead link, but dead links by themselves are not acceptable. A source citation of another wiki is not acceptable. | ||
This policy should be followed for both stand-alone pages and identities included in lists such as [[list of uncommon nonbinary identities]]. | |||
