Cayne, a
transgender actress and performance artist, has made multiple appearances on Drag Race as well as the spin-off
RuPaul's Drag U. Like Andersen, she was a special guest on Drag Race's "The Final Three" and "The Final Three, Hunty". She was a guest judge on the ninth season's "
Snatch Game" episode.[2][3]

Archived from the original on 2023-02-04. Retrieved 2024-03-03. With that said, fans seem to often forget that actress, choreographer, and trans icon Candis Cayne appeared on the show various times, choreographing the finalists on seasons 4, 5, and 7. Then, on season 9, Candis sat in the judging panel for the Snatch Game episode.
I think it is helpful to provide some context about how people have been involved with the series, when applicable. Another editor
removed this text for being "completely irrelevant to the episode"). What do others think? ---

@
Another Believer I've just joined the Drag Race Wikiproject, I've admired your tireless editing as a constant reader of the Drag Race pages and hope to contribute! (Long time copyeditor, getting pretty familiar with the MoS at this point, but still intimidated by citation styles and even pinging/messaging norms on en.wiki)
I think your addition was great, and would be in support of re-adding it. While I'll AGF regarding the "drive-by revert" editor, it appears they do large-scale generalist work, often at a more technical level of contribution, and didn't necessarily care about the actual topic here like we Wikiproject members do! That sort of constant activity- reverting recent changes with brash edit summaries then refusing to engage on talk- is why I almost quit here as a new editor in the much more toxic arena of tech and academia.
I love that the Wikiproject is small and tight knit, and Drag Race gives me liiiiife mamaaaaa, so if I understand Wikipedia properly, we get to build our own consensus as a community around these pages. Count me in for consensus on re-adding, and for a general stance against deletionism in the few domains we have of joyful queer art! 🌈🙌
Thanks for your kind words and feedback here, Chiselinccc! ---

To be clear, no group on Wikipedia gets to build our own consensus as a community that overrides wider consensus– see
WP:LOCALCONSENSUS. In general the rules set by a smaller project are generally going to be left alone because there's no way for the entire Wikipedia community to work on every project, but if a broader group raises concerns, they can seek consensus for changes.
Regarding the specific changes here, I actually don't have a huge issue with removing those paragraphs; they come across as a
WP:COATRACK to me. We should stay focused on this episode; for instance; Andersen's Emmy nom is completely irrelevant to this article.
