I believe Dan Howell has said he's bisexual, and in his newest 'Roast Yourself' video, he said something about being vague or confusing about what his sexuality is... I may be wrong, but someone please look into this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmolBean12 ( talk • contribs) 23:50, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
There are a number of different sexual orientations that people use to describe their sexuality. Creating list's of people who conform to said sexuality seems counter intuitive if we must do this for every sexual orientation available when this kind of information can be linked/noted directly in an article. There is already so little information here, all listed with the nebulous claim that these people are notable that I would suggest we either find more people of note or delete this page. Andrdema ( talk) 08:01, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
Currently, the inclusion sentence in the article states:
"This is a list of notable people who identify as pansexual and deceased people who have been identified as pansexual."
I have one problem with that, as an experienced editor: It allows for the inclusion of non-notable, non-living people. When I tried to edit it, I failed, because I found I was destroying some of the original intent of the sentence's second clause: "deceased people who have been identified as pansexual".
At first I thought this would be OK:
"This is a list of living and deceased notable people who identify as pansexual."
Not really acceptable, I thought, because the intent of the second clause is to allow for future additions of deceased people who are later identified by an acceptable source, and my phrasing kills that. (I note that many deceased people who are notable, are later speculated by historians to have a different sexual preference than was ever documented during their life, that's OK with me as long as we stick to reputable historians as sources.)
Then I thought this would work logically:
"This is a list of notable people who identify as pansexual and deceased notable people who have been identified as pansexual."
While that's OK logically, it sucks linguistically: This editor calls that being "wordy and verbose". (Too many "notables" too close together.)
So, anyone have a better idea? — Aladdin Sane ( talk) 19:03, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Why does a list of people who identify as having some sexual orientation belong in Wikipedia?
Why is it full of honestly completely irrelevant people, too?
If a page like this is approved by the Wikipedia editors, it just opens way for thousands of meaningless lists with no documental usefulness to show up. Does Wikipedia really want lists of people who support a certain football club, or who prefer the colour blue?
This is a waste of disk space and bandwidth and would be better of in the figurative internet trash. Tiago Dias talk 21:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Considering that the distinction between pansexuality and bisexuality is debated (see Pansexuality#Comparison to bisexuality and other sexual identities), this list should only include persons where the cited source shows that the person explicitly uses the term "pansexual" to describe their own sexuality. -- LukeSurl t c 09:57, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

I have removed Alyson Stoner from the list. In the cited article
[1] she states I, Alyson, am attracted to men, women, and people who identify in other ways. I can love people of every gender identity and expression.
however she does not explicitly use the term "pansexual". As
above I think this is necessary rather than us editors interpreting statements in this way. --

Should Brendon Urie of Panic! at The Disco be included on this list? he has described himself as pansexual 162.253.8.84 ( talk) 20:13, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
Despite the presence of a banner in the Talk page, it needs to be demonstrated that this list in fact meets notability criteria. Also, since this list only contains people from very few countries who do not seem to have great prominence in the world, the selection criteria must be made clear. WP is not a container for random, unencyclopedic information. ♆ CUSH ♆ 17:24, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
LukeSurl, what issue did this cause? As I can see any. Helper201 ( talk) 02:18, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

On behalf of the subject and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I'd like to suggest the addition to V Pappas to this list, per NBC News and other sources. If added, I hope editors will consider removing the orphan tag from the V Pappas entry. Thanks! Inkian Jason ( talk) 13:29, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
