Paul Abrahamian‎
There is reliably sourced confirmation within the article that Abrahamian‎ prefers they/them pronouns. Repeatedly changing back to he/him citing a "typo" is disruptive; please stop and review MOS:GENDERID.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:27, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

They and Them are plural pronouns. The article doesnt make grammatical sense the way its currently written. Clerks037 (talk) 23:15, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It makes perfect sense in relation to consensus on Wikipedia and real world use. If you're going to argue semantics, you should probably expand your research horizons. Did you know that "they" as a gender-neutral/non-binary pronoun was Merriam Webster's "Word of the Year" in 2019? -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:04, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I'm not arguing that they isn't a word. I'm arguing that it's a plural pronoun. Clerks037 (talk) 18:21, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "They" is no longer solely used as a plural pronoun as evidenced by the links I continue to provide and its inclusion as such in the majority of common English language dictionaries. You don't have to personally accept this change, but you do have to abide by community consensus of its use when editing Wikipedia. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:38, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Just to try to clarify 's point in a different way it already has been used that way for a long time especially when the gender of someone isn't known. For example: "What is your roommates name, they seem really nice!" or even if you do know their gender "Paul went to the store and they asked me if I needed anything while they were there." It's no different than that. The Doctor Who  (talk) 00:22, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
