Bisexual?

Is there a source confirming that Sanchez identifies as bisexual? If not, the category should be removed. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:31, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe needs a page move

If they are no longer using the Tyra Sanchez name it is possible this article needs to be moved to James Ross. Just a suggestion to any editors who have this article on their watchlist. MarnetteD|Talk 00:40, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 28 July 2020

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. DrKay (talk) 15:42, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tyra Sanchez → James Ross (drag performer) – Tyra Sanchez no longer in use. Move was the original name of this template, and we should revert to that. Happypillsjr ✉ 02:08, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Was he ever notable, or is he now, as James Ross? If not the article should stay until he is notable under a different name. Gleeanon409 (talk) 08:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gleeanon409:, he is now James Ross, according to his instagram, he is no longer to be called Tyra Sanchez. Happypillsjr ✉ 13:12, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That’s not really how Wikipedia works. This person seems to be really only notable under one name. Gleeanon409 (talk) 14:42, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. One social media post doesn't change how someone is known. --Kbabej (talk) 02:18, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, nominator hasn't even provided sourcing to justify the move. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 02:25, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tyra's title disputed by fans

In a historic turn of events deriving from Sanchez's toxic behaviour and fluctuating drag career, fans worldwide petition to strip her from her title and instead name Raven the winner of Rupaul's Drag Race Season 2. Immigraine (talk) 18:57, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Ros" to "Ross" the name isn't spelled correctly at one point in the article. Velvetmug (talk) 17:15, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks for pointing it out. LizardJr8 (talk) 19:26, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
