Talk:Good Christian Fun

Author of the Vox source
The Vox source uses the name Todd VanDerWerff. I started looking into why the name is a redirect and discovered that Todd VanDerWerff is a deadname. In this context should we keep the deadname because that's what the source uses or should we change it to Emily St. James? TipsyElephant (talk) 12:40, 29 April 2023 (UTC)


 * According to MOS:DEADNAME, we should refer to any person ... [by the] most recent expressed gender self-identification as reported in the most recent reliable sources and If a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname), it should not be included in any page. So I decided to remove the deadname from the article and use Emily St. James instead. I also tried contacting Vox to see if they would correct the name, but I doubt anything will come of it.

Acronym
Should the acronym "GCF" be added in the lead? The acronym isn't used by the reliable secondary sources cited in the article, however, the show's social media accounts use the acronym and the various podcast hosting websites include it in the show description or in the descriptions of the individual episodes.

 * When looking for guidance on this I found that WP:MOSABBR says Abbreviations in quotations from written sources should always be written exactly as in the source, which implies that acronyms shouldn't be used if there aren't reliable sources that use the acronym. I think adding the acronym would likely be considered original research or simply unnecessary. While searching I also stumbled across these essays WP:ACROCLUTTER and WP:LTTAUTMAOK, which further suggest that the acronym is likely unnecessary. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:58, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
