A fact from Ariel Pink appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 April 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
(@ILIL:) Given the recent spat of edits-reverts over Pink's pronouns, I think it would be good to move discussion to the talk page. Pink's twitter bio now gives she/them, and I'd say in absence of any indicators that it's a joke (as far as I can tell) and reliable sources on the topic, we should default to MOS:ID and take them at their word. It should be noted that Pink historically doesn't have an exactly uncomplicated relationship to their gender identity. In any case, I'd rather end up with egg on my face over a poorly thought out twitter prank, than misgender a trans person. Thanks, Tenpop421 (talk) 19:42, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tenpop421: The only other word about pronouns on their Twitter is a joke about Antifa. On Facebook, he still has his gender set as "male", as well as his religion as "Jewish", even though he states in interviews that he does not practice Judaism. IMO it's way too soon, and social media bios shouldn't be treated as reliable sources in this case. Note that his Twitter avatar is a photo of himself processed through some "make yourself look female" phone app. ili (talk) 20:16, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@ILIL: Alright, the Twitter avatar thing does it for me. Best to wait and see. Thanks, Tenpop421 (talk) 20:30, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This article is being manipulated to remove all references to January 6[edit]
He was dropped from his label and ostracized from most of the industry because he attended the rally at the White House on January 6, 2021, and he admits as much in every interview since (example: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/death-of-pink-ariel-pink ) -- so why are editors brigading against the inclusion of this information? A peek at the edit history of this article makes it clear that every time someone tries to include this information, random IP-editors virulently remove it and defend him in the edit logs. The words "January 6" are mentioned not once anywhere in the current revision of the article, which is even more egregious given that has 'Good Article' status...

as a thoughtful and kind hearted deletionist, i found it necessary to trim this interesting and notable person's page back to within the scope of an encyclopedia, and away from tabloid content.
some may disagree. I'm leaving in the sources, so that persons interested in learning more, before the book comes out, can easily access the same important content.
