@ Gstridsigne: I still contend that this content is original research (and dubious). The citation doesn't make any of the conclusions that are being presented, it only gives a single example of a transgender candidate supporting a single transgender issue (insurance coverage for transgender health care). Transgender candidates are not a monolithic block and many do not emphasize transgender issues in their campaigns. In the past year, there were nearly 100 transgender political candidates worldwide (most of which were not American and are missing from this list). They represented a wide range of platforms and political views. The added content is misleading, oversimplifying, and not backed up by citations or the rest of the article. It strongly implies that transgender candidates' political positions are dictated by their transgender status, which is stereotyping. It would be like suggesting that all black candidates are civil rights activists. You should still be able to demonstrate the notability of this list by tying it in with the transgender rights movement (without suggesting that transgender candidates are all single-issue politicians).

The result of the move request was: no consensus. I don't find a consensus in the discussion here, whether to move and if to move, to which title. Most of the comments hinges on the scope of the article. Further discussions on the scope of the article may take place which may then necessitate a change of article title. – robertsky ( talk) 02:37, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
List of transgender political office-holders → List of LGBT political office-holders – There is a discrepancy in the article title. While there are intersex people who are born trans, transgenderism, intersexuality, non-binary genders, and agenderism are very different things.
Thus, I propose that this article should be renamed to List of LGBT political office-holders, since its purpose is to include all LGBTQ+ politicians. —

I've removed unsourced entries that don't have an article. A source seems like it should be the minimum requirement for inclusion. Valereee ( talk) 23:50, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
I've made a new list article List of transgender public officeholders in the United States as the US section here has gotten pretty long. This new article is sorted based on type of office first, and chronologically within that. I started with content from this article, hoping to work on paring the US section of this one down based on some measure of significance or fully replacing with the "main" link. My first instinct is to have this one focus on nationwide firsts and/or current state officeholders, but I want to wait on other folks before making such a big change as removing a lot of content here.
I did add sources to the new article for some individuals whose mention is unsourced here -- if we want to maintain this level of detail here, I can migrate over some of those references. ~Malvoliox ( talk | contribs) 20:25, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
