On 8 May 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Shannon Finnegan to Finnegan Shannon. The result of the discussion was moved.

Name change- title of article and throughout

I believe that this artist now goes by Finnegan Shannon (https://shannonfinnegan.com/, https://pioneerworks.org/residency/finnegan-shannon). Stella0003 (talk) 20:36, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, seconding the above comment. Recent webinars/events have also changed their pages to reflect the artist's wishes:

Shannon was notable under her former name, therefore it is appropriately encyclopedic to mention it in the article. It looks like this is the relevant policy: MOS:DEADNAME. I found the expert discussion at Talk:Chelsea Manning to be helpful.

In light of that I am adding "(formerly Shannon Finnegan)" at the top so it's clear. If we can get away without emboldening it, let's do that. -- econterms (talk) 17:23, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shannon Finnegan → Finnegan Shannon – Finnegan Shannon has changed their name according the their website about page ^[1] and their Instagram explicitly confirms this ^[2]. Their new name is in common usage as shown from the above talk Windowsylvan (talk) 22:51, 8 May 2023 (UTC)— Relisting. >>> Extorc.talk 11:06, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but there should be some prose on it in the article as they were already well-recognized under previous name, and non-binary categories added.--Ortizesp (talk) 02:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
