Wikipedia:Xe

 * – (View MfD)

WP:XE is actually the worst thing that has ever been on this site. uh, wait, um. i don't think that's a valid reason. uh. how about the essay is actually dumb, like, just use they. it's not that f*cking hard. this was created in 2014 but feels like it was created in 1960 like holy sh*t this is the most offensive thing ever. and like I know wikipedia is not censored but this is actually wasting space. like, if someone literally titled an essay wp:(racial slur) (you know what word i mean) would people be saying that wikipedia is not censored about that? would people want to keep that up? i don't even know. 24.236.225.133 (talk) 06:06, 13 December 2020 (UTC
 * Keep: I'm not sure what word you mean, or in what way you find this objectionable. Racial slurs are offensive for obvious and widely-agreed-upon reasons: they demean people based on their race. I'm not sure who this essay demeans -- it seems to, pretty straightforwardly, express the opinion that using "xe" as a pronoun in articles on Wikipedia is a good idea. While I disagree with this opinion (as do most people, presumably, since it is rare to find this word used anywhere), it's hard to imagine how it could be considered obscenity. jp×g 07:52, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Seemingly well within the realm of reasonability concerning essays. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 16:04, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Minority view essays are allowed in projectspace.  I think it is true, that many find it dumb, but it is also true that many have not, and some continue to follow it.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:53, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Opinions on pronoun usage in the encyclopedia has to do with maintenance of the encyclopedia. Opinions are permitted and sometimes useful in project space.  Robert McClenon (talk) 06:12, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
