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 LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.
This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.
This biographical article uses the pronouns they/them. See [1].

It doesn’t even make sense. Who’s “they”? This is a serious problem in the West. Read some history books. This is some thin ice you people are walking on. 2600:1700:4BE0:4A30:90D8:C3BB:F03A:A9A5 (talk) 06:09, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

See MOS:GENDERID and the linked article on singular they for the Wikipedia policy on this, the long history of use, and other organizations/authorities that accept singular they as correct English. This question/complaint has been made many times on talk pages about individual people, including Miller; see the archive. Jamie7687 (talk) 20:26, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
NOT thin ice! LOL Mike Allen 20:44, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I support wikpedia comedy, and I identify as a female octopus. Wastrel Way (talk)Eric

Having read the article, I just wanted to mention that this "they" situation, beyond any self-identification issue, does make for pretty awkward reading and impairs clarity. 2A01:E0A:DC:3360:C592:E863:27E2:7A91 (talk) 12:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is pretty stupid. First time I've noticed in on wikipedia. It seems odd to insert politics into an article. 90.251.17.170 (talk) 17:23, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
It seems odd that it should even be political. But here we are. Mike Allen 20:04, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Stop acting like you're on some moral high ground, so confused that "it should even be political".
You know full well that people like *you* are the ones being political by catering to this gender nonsense in articles. 71.15.251.158 (talk) 01:42, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Feel better? Mike Allen 09:23, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
The grammar of this article is ridiculous. 2603:6080:21F0:6000:3C7B:EDD2:F518:C0F4 (talk) 04:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's ridiculous just on the basis of clarity. It's confusing and makes it sound like the article's referring to multiple people.
Wikipedia likes to pretend it's some sort of be-all and end-all source of knowledge, but then it allows confusing and misleading entries for the sake of catering to ridiculous political agendas. 71.15.251.158 (talk) 01:38, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why is this article missing the statement that was given about the video from the Icelandic Police Department?

"Gunnar Rúnar Sveinbjörnsson, a spokesman for the Reykjavik Metropolitan Police, tells TheWrap that officers were never called to the scene of the alleged altercation and no injuries were ever reported to the police. “No one was arrested or placed in custody regarding this,” Sveinbjörnsson said."

That statement was given in 2020, and reported on again in 2021.

"Reykjavík Metropolitan Police press officer Gunnar Rúnar Sveinbjörnsson told The Daily Beast in an email that police were not called to the scene, and that no one was arrested or placed in custody." https://www.thedailybeast.com/justice-league-fans-shouldnt-forget-about-the-ezra-miller-attack-video

Seems wrong to not include what the actual police said about this. All the other information cited is unreliable hearsay. 108.21.91.23 (talk) 02:29, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

He should be addressed as a "he". Thanks for fixing this. 82.45.232.165 (talk) 09:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support. The politics and subjectivity of this and other articles is a huge detriment to the project.
