Should the first sentence of a biographical article mention the disabilities (etc. blind/deaf) of the subject? 🅶🅰🅼🅾🆆🅴🅱🅱🅴🅳 (talk) 03:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you are intending to start an RfC about the mention of disabilities in general, which is the way i read your question, this is probably the wrong place to do it, as this page is purely for discussing the Daniel Durant article; i would guess that we probably have a guideline on the subject already, so that should generally be followed. If you are simply thinking about this particular person, maybe reword the question? Happy days, ~ LindsayHello 07:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks @LindsayH, my question is for all articles but im not sure where the appropriate page is. 🅶🅰🅼🅾🆆🅴🅱🅱🅴🅳 (talk) 08:51, 30 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Talk pages of articles are for matters related to that specific article, not broad-reaching discussion that may potentially change a policy or guideline. That would be a matter for Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography; start a discussion there by all means, but don't make it a formal RfC until WP:RFCBEFORE is satisfied. At that point, {{rfc|policy|style}} will be the tag to use. If you don't want to go through all of that, look through some other biogs within Category:Deaf actors (and its subcategories), and see what they do - use those as an example. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 12:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
