Talk:Zooey Zephyr

Birthname
What was Zooey's birthname? I ask because if it is different it has encyclopedic importance for a politician--it allows encyclopedia writers know what name to search for for events before the birthname. Academicskeptic9 (talk) 14:37, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Read MOS:DEADNAME, Zooey's birthname will not be posted. --Pokelova (talk) 14:48, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * yes, yes it will. 2604:CA00:1EA:CC7C:0:0:1263:BE70 (talk) 06:51, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Was she notable under her deadname? Clearly not, so no. Jay Coop &middot;&#32;Talk &middot;&#32;Contributions 08:13, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not notable. 72.196.233.42 (talk) 12:14, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * So she just appeared fully formed in her present iteration? With the family name of Zephyr?  If this is Wikipedia policy, I have a serious problem with it.  Other legislators and public figures don't have their pre-notable histories blacked out.  Discretion to the point of intellectual dishonesty is unacceptable. 98.206.87.210 (talk) 03:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Naming rep Sue Vinton's response here?
"When this remark triggered an objection from a Republican lawmaker," should this be edited to say what that remark is and name Sue Vinton for making it? 72.196.233.42 (talk) 12:21, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If Vinton also has a WP article, she could be named. Given that her floor objection was relatively minor compared to Regier’s behavior and the stuff the Freedom Caucus did, it’s important not to give her actions undue weight. Montanabw (talk) 15:26, 25 April 2023 (UTC) Follow up I added Vinton’s name, linked her article, and noted her status as majority leader.  The Washington Post source I added also contains video of the entire interaction.  Montanabw (talk) 18:07, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Given that Vinton is a sitting member of a state legislature, an article could be created if there are editors interested in giving any time to do that. For example, every incumbent member of the California State Legislature with the exception of one has their own article on Wikipedia.

 * Vinton has an article already. I linked it. Montanabw (talk) 23:30, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

typo
"Zephyr decided to run for state representative in the 2022 mid-term elections after watching bills pass through the state senate with one-vote margins that they believed were discriminatory against transgender people"

should read "Zephyr decided to run for state representative in the 2022 mid-term elections after watching bills pass through the state senate with one-vote margins that she believed were discriminatory against transgender people 130.180.88.101 (talk) 22:11, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
 * That whole sentence was kind of awkward, I did a rephrased to make it flow a little better and eliminate pronoun inconsistency. Montanabw (talk) 23:29, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Level of detail
Does the blow-by-blow account of different people sitting on a bench in the hallway strike anybody else as somewhat absurd? XeCyranium (talk) 03:17, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
