Note that some sources refer to her as "Hostyn" rather than "Scarlett". I feel like I've seen more of the former than the latter, but I haven't taken a full survey.

Title

@Pink Fae: Scarlett is generally the WP:COMMONNAME for the individual as opposed to Sasha Hostyn, as seen in reliable sources. Per WP:NICKNAME the title should probably be Scarlett. This was also generally the concensus as determined by the an RFC on WP:VG. --Prisencolin (talk) 06:05, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Gender

I reverted gender pronoun changes again today. Per MOS:GENDERID, we give preference to self-determination, and we must be particularly careful when adding or changing information about living persons. For anyone interested in reading more, Wikipedia:Gender identity is a good place to start. Woodroar (talk) 23:42, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

I witnessed the ongoing "edit war"; should not the page be semi-protected, as referring to a living person? #!/bin/DokReggar -talk 07:07, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

If it continues, absolutely. I thought it best to start a discussion for the IP editor and anyone else who wants to discuss the edits. Woodroar (talk) 22:28, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Ace (video gamer) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 07:07, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

"After leaving school" sentence

I've removed a sentence twice now as unsourced and unimportant. I read both the AV Club and New Yorker sources and I can't find the claim that she transitioned after leaving high school or the implication that she stopped playing to transition. (Or perhaps to graduate? The sentence isn't clear either way.) Maybe I'm missing it. If someone can point where a source makes this claim, we can certainly discuss whether or not it's appropriate to include in the article. Woodroar (talk) 19:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Regardless of whether that sentence in itself is correct, the fact that Scarlett is transgender should be present in this article. We're an encyclopedia and her being transgender, while not relevant to her, is surely relevant amongst the broader context of "Female esports players", at a glance, this article would not inform people who may be wanting to research biological female esports players whether or not she is in fact biologically female. Therefore, it should be mentioned somewhere as it is indeed relevant. Guest - 19:24 12 November 2018 (UTC)

See WP:BLP and WP:V. We summarize what reputable reliable sources say and they tend not to care about her (or any other Esports player's) biology. Woodroar (talk) 00:21, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
