@PSA, Prince of Erebor, Launchballer, Geni, Kusma, and Z1720: reopening this nom page per discussion at WT:DYK. I personally agree with the sentiment expressed there that including mention of Eilish's sexuality is not suitable for the main page, when she's explicitly said she doesn't accept the concept of outing. Suggest we go with Kusma's alt or something else. Full discussion to be copied below. — Amakuru (talk) 20:18, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My reading of the sources is that Eilish is objecting to actually being outed; if she had a problem with the term, she wouldn't have used it in the Instagram post mentioned in the Background section.--Launchballer 14:30, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
From what I read in the source [1], she said "i like boys and girls leave me alone about it please literally who cares." so I am not sure focussing on her sexuality (instead of on the song) is appropriate for the Main Page. —Kusma (talk) 14:46, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's more like "no one has to feel pressured to tell people theyre LGBT" to me. not necessarily a rejection of the concept PSA 🏕️🪐 (please make some noise...) 08:52, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What else needs to be done to this?--Launchballer 17:23, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
New reviewer needed on the hook issue. I've just struck all the hooks that talk about outing or sapphism; there's enough disagreement about including these in the hook (which I agree with) that it isn't going to fly, much though others still want to include it. Whatever Z1720 may have approved in the past, we're clearly past that point now. The only hook left seems to be Launchballer's above, which Geni described as "not very hooky"; maybe a new hook with a different approach is needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:38, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@PookiWooki, please see this related discussion Talk:Yes, And?/Archive 1#Lowercase title. My thoughts here are best summarized by Ss112: "OK, great, but this is trivial information at best. We standardize stylizations on Wikipedia per MOS:CT, MOS:CAPS and so on, and most editors here know this. Literally the only place we would denote this is in the lead in an unnecessary parenthetical note that disrupts the prose, and the creator of the article chose not to include the stylization and to put a note there explicitly stating it should be disregarded."
