On RuPaul's Drag Race, all queen personas are referred to with feminine pronouns, which is the norm. Pronouns generally always match gender presentation unless specified otherwise. RuPaul's name, in contrast, applies to RuPaul both when she is in drag and when he is dressed in men's clothing; therefore, "RuPaul" isn't used strictly for a feminine persona. If one watches the show, or reads most news articles (non-open source) about the queens on the show, one will find that feminine pronouns are used when referring to feminine drag personas. Masculine pronouns are appropriate for the performers when out of drag, of course. It's really important that we get this right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajl724 ( talk • contribs) 03:48, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Should this page be moved to Shangela, per COMMONNAME? If you look at the references, even just the titles, she is mostly referred to as simply "Shangela". --- Another Believer ( Talk) 22:58, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved as requested per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 15:46, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Shangela Laquifa Wadley → Shangela – This individual is referred to as simply "Shangela", on RuPaul's Drag Race, in secondary coverage more often than "Shangela Laquifa Wadley", and in her IMDb entry. If there were multiple "Shangela" articles, I'd understand keeping "Laquifa Wadley" as a natural disambiguation, but since there's just one Shangela (as far as I know), disambiguation is not necessary. -- Another Believer ( Talk) 22:57, 22 December 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

Most articles that say NAME (born NAME) like this article usually mean that the article is referring to a person who has legally changed their name. Shangela has not changed her name, she has adopted a stage name, it is hard to understand that by first looking at this article. 2A02:C7E:3526:BA00:E593:AF54:7C3D:31D8 ( talk) 19:26, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
