• Comment: I will note that, while the draft proposes the category "Transgender actresses", the draft does not in any other fashion discuss Harlean's trans identity, even though that identity is discussed widely in the available sources. If the article does not mention the fact, it seems unfitting to categorize the article this way. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
