The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans men. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.

If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR

Before moving this article over from draft I made sure it would meet WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR

There are already several reliable independent secondary sources in the references with significant coverage (some are "fully" secondary, while some include interviews), eg:

There are some other sources references as well, including non-independent ones, but those are irrelevant to notability.

I do intend to continue expanding the article, and will add more sources as needed, but this should be sufficient to remove the notability template.

I've added further sources, including academic research that has cited this person's work. —siro χ o 06:33, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partly reverting removal of references

I'm partly reverting this edit. I've removed some of the repeat inline citation usage to address any potential OVERCITE concerns, but the references are still valuable, so I've preserved them. —siro χ o 02:40, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

autism rights advocate/activist

Hi @Siroxo:

First of all, thank for starting the article! I've translated it to the German Wikipedia, where I it received a lot of scrutiny and valuable feedback. Over time, I plan to translate the expanded sections and include them in the English version.

One small part of the article I had to remove in the translated version was the notion that Price is an autism rights activist or advocate, as there was no source for it. This is why I removed it from the introduction here as well. I understand that Price writes in the tradition of autistic self-advocacy but he doesn't seem to be (perceived as) an advocate/activist for the rights of autistic people, rather as raising awareness and advocating for acceptance.

It might very well be that I'm missing something, though. Do you have a source for that claim?--TempusTacet (talk) 11:01, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for your updates to this article, I'm excited to see what more comes. That's a good point about not being actually documented as involved in autism rights. While it certainly feels right, and Price makes note of autism rights in his more recent book, it's not actually sourced by a third party that I know of. So, looking again, I think it's ok to remove the "autism rights" note from the introduction. I'd only ask that you keep the "He is best known for" sentence in some form, so that the intro provides that information to the reader. Thanks for reaching out! —siro χ o 07:35, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response! Personally, I agree that it "feels" right and depending on what Price's up to next, we might see official recognition of him as an autism rights advocate.--TempusTacet (talk) 09:42, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
