Talk:Lor Wilson

Name change
I just wanted to note on the talk page as well that this page is using a deadname, according to their IMDB profile, they are now called Lor Wilson. Liria10 ☎  14:56, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Is Lor not just short for Lauren? -- Saxon (✉️) 15:36, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * I can find nothing else but IMDB saying this. Furthermore, IMDB is not legitimate enough to use as source material. If this is said somewhere else, use that. :) --DCLM ☎  15:44, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * I actually think user Jack Saxon is right. I found a difffent (I think, most likely) Lauren Wilson on Twitter whose username is "Lauren Wilson @lorwilsonn" which leads me to think Lor is just a nickname or shortened version. --DCLM ☎  16:01, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * According to their twitter page (I'm not sure if I should link it here or not, as I stumbled upon it via an unrelated doctor who thread), they are non-binary, and seem to be going by Lor. I agree that Lor can be used as a shortened version of Lauren, however, in this case, it seems to be their name, especially as IMDB corroborates what I found on Twitter, which is why I opened this discussion in accordance with T:ACTOR.

 * You can indeed link it here, as IMDB, as I said, is not really a legitimate source for any info on the Wikia. --DCLM ☎  17:09, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Alright; their username is @lozzers, and they've mentionned a few times playing Lucy Catwright (I'll be honest, I just searched their usernames + doctor who and found plenty of evidence) and talk openly about being trans as well. I hope that is sufficient evidence? Liria10 ☎  17:14, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Checking it now. :) Also, if Lor is indeed the name used, then there's not much against. But if Lauren is still used, then we can't change. --DCLM ☎  17:19, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Just looked and all I could find was an abandoned profile with only one tweet. Could you perhaps copy a link and put in here? --DCLM ☎  17:24, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Ooops, my bad, I mispelled that. https://twitter.com/lozerrs here you go! Liria10 ☎  17:44, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Just went through the last two years of tweets made by the account, and it does seem seem legit to me. But can we be sure that there has been a legal name change? "Lor" could still just have be used as nickname/short. --DCLM ☎  18:12, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * T:ACTOR says "in all cases". Legal name change not strictly required; depending on where you live, such things take time. 18:32, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay. I have no further arguments then. :) --DCLM ☎  18:42, October 23, 2019 (UTC)

Okay, I've looked into the evidence in question. It would seem, practically speaking without a shadow of doubt, to be them running the Twitter. Their Twitter bio specifies they/them pronouns, and their name is given as Lor. In all (non-DWU) credits since 2017, in fact, they have been credited with the name Lor Wilson. This more than meets the requirements of T:ACTOR. I'm hence renaming the page in accordance with that policy. 18:46, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
