While I'm sure this list seemed like a good idea when it was started in 2015, it is no longer practical to keep it updated. According to Wikidata, there are about 1000 non-binary people with Wikipedia articles. This list only includes about 200 of them (including some that probably don't belong, like Prince). The number of notable non-binary people is growing at a rapid rate and I think this information is better handled via Wikidata and categories (the same as we handle other genders). By only listing a small fraction, we are giving the false impression that there are a much smaller number of notable non-binary people than there really are. If you disagree, please elaborate on how you think this list can be realistically kept up-to-date into the future. Nosferattus (talk) 16:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Weak support: Seems reasonable to handle the same as other gender identities. Is it possible to redirect to (even though it's out of the article namespace)? The downside would be that there's no central list: categories organize things as trees, and it's impossible to view an actual list of all the people. But that may be inevitable. If wikidata gives a list view, maybe it's possible to link to wikidata somehow? Mrfoogles (talk) 16:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Need a second opinion though Mrfoogles (talk) 16:25, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Comment I wanted to make a comment first before voting. I am going to throw this out there; we have list articles like Lists of women, Lists of men, List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people, Lists of LGBT people, List of transgender people. Honestly I don't understand the arguement behind this at all.CycoMa1 (talk) 17:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
