Cleanup

[edit]

This article was a mess. It looked like it was written by a copyrighter, and included completely irrelevant information (including a picture of the family dog). Busque might be notable, but not in a way that her full biography should be on Wikipedia. I have limited this article to what makes sense, given her achievements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.83.9.18 (talk) 14:55, 29 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Surname??

[edit]

the title of this article is Leah Busque, the image caption & article text refers to her as Leah Solivan, and her husband's surname is listed as "Breyer," so what is her last name? cory (talk) 17:59, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Fixed. An editor decided that the new marriage meant her name had to be changed. No sourcing supports this. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 20:07, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
You did? Article still refers to her as Solivan. 2601:19E:427D:AF20:2570:6EAD:5333:D297 (talk) 12:00, 3 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hi - I am the subject of this article. I’d like to propose renaming the article from “Leah Busque” to “Leah Solivan”. My name is Leah Solivan. Busque is an old name that I haven’t used for 7 years.
Rationale:
Independent and reliable sources currently refer to me as “Leah Solivan”. For example:
The Global Mentor Network lists me as “Leah Solivan” in the capacity of General Partner at Fuel Capital. (see [link])
A board appointment press release names me “Ms Solivan … created … TaskRabbit”.
An alumni page lists “Leah Solivan … Executive Chairwoman and Founder, TaskRabbit”.
My former surname “Busque” is still documented in sources (including media referencing me as “Leah Busque Solivan”) and remains part of my public identity, so I suggest retaining a redirect from Leah Busque → Leah Solivan, and including the former name in the lead (eg. “Leah Solivan (née Busque; born 15 November 1979)”).
This change reflects the name under which I currently conduct my public and professional role (investor, founder, etc) and therefore aligns with Wikipedia’s article-title guideline to use the most commonly used name in reliable sources.
Suggested changes:
Move article title to Leah Solivan
In the lead:
“Leah Solivan (née Busque; born 15 November 1979) is an American entrepreneur, founder of TaskRabbit…”
Keep the redirect from Leah Busque or Leah Busque Solivan so that links to the former title continue to work.
Update internal links, infobox, categories to use the new title.
