Talk:Linda Thompson

message: "where she was in the cornfields until 1992"  I do not understand what that means, we should clear it up so that it is more obvious to the casual observer. 72.92.208.28 (talk) 20:08, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Linda penned the lyrics for this great song, music by David Foster, in 1990. It's getting a bit of a revival, Xmas 2010, from Michael Buble's cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfH_rfEe-F0 
IMHO one of the best Christmas songs ever.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boztown (talk • contribs) 17:34, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

message: As a matter of respect for not deadnaming trans individuals, the references to Caitlyn Jenner should use her correct name. Can see from the history it's been edited and reverted numerous times. As per the Wikipedia style guide (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Gender_identity): 
* "In articles on works or other activity by a living trans or non-binary person before transition, use their current name as the primary name."
* "Before including a transgender subject's former name inline, consider including it as a footnote instead."
Can I therefore suggest edits that correctly use Caitlyn's name, with a footnote in the first instance about her gender identity? Happy to make the appropriate edits but didn't want to do so before posting it here on the talk page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zigs0 (talk • contribs) 18:32, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @User:Zigs0 done, although I didn't think the footnotes were needed Stephanie921 (talk) 00:37, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The article states, “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 (including lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc.), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists. Treat the pre-notability name as a privacy interest separate from (and often greater than) the person's current name.” Jenner was notable as “Bruce Jenner” hence why her birth name is mentioned in the lede of her article Caitlyn Jenner. It’s not deadnaming Jenner. There’s absolutely no reason why her previous name should not be mentioned in the article since Thompson married Jenner when she was known notably as a male.--Mcdonald9823 (talk) 23:22, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Linda Thompson (actress) →  – Linda is primarily known as a Grammy-nominated songwriter and for being Elvis Presley's ex-girlfriend. She had some small acting roles too but isn't really known for that. Strangerthings7112 (talk) 01:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
