Pronouns

Just as a note should this come up again: At one point the article used they/them as Dunham's pronouns per MOS:ID/Wikipedia:Gender identity. Looking for sources, according to this interview with her sister in The Advocate, as of 2016, Grace Dunham has gone back to using she/her, so the current usage is correct. Grayfell (talk) 07:58, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

An IP changed these recently so I checked to see if anything had changed, and while I didn't spot any evidence that Dunham had changed pronouns, I do notice that this 2017 Teen Vogue piece and this 2018 Cut piece use "Cyrus" instead of "Grace" for Lena's sibling (and confirms they use they/them pronouns). Someone may want to look into whether the name should be changed, and also whether e.g. the Lena Dunham article's reference to this person as a sister should be changed to sibling. -sche (talk) 22:20, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article now mostly uses he with one they. I was about to make the one they consistent with the hes, except that the most recent sources I can find (July 2021) only use they. An out-of-date 2019 source for he pronouns was removed along with much other content in diff. The article could do to have a more recent source. -sche (talk) 22:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cyrus Grace Dunham → Cyrus Dunham – Unclear why the subject's middle name should be in the article title. It should be simplified to their first and last name, especially since most reliable sources I can find refer to them as Cyrus Dunham, not their full name. WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONCISE. JeffSpaceman (talk) 16:26, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think it is better this article is moved to Cyrus Dunham (writer) or Cyrus Dunham (actor) since it is not clear they are the primary topic.

Rafts of Calm (talk) 20:30, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I agree with that. I think Cyrus Dunham (writer) would be best, given that it's their top billing in the article. JeffSpaceman (talk) 12:49, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any evidence that this is their current usage, consistent with WP:SPNC (or MOS:DEADNAME, if applicable)? I did a quick search online and many sources do use their middle name, which they (previously?) published under. They don't appear to have a social media presence. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 21:02, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
