Deadname inclusion in article

Latest comment: 10 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I noticed that someone recently added Nic Chien's former name to the article. I wanted to start a discussion here to determine whether its inclusion meets Wikipedia's content and biography guidelines.

Per WP:BLP and MOS:GIDINFO, a transgender person's deadname should generally only be included if:

It is reliably sourced, and
It is directly relevant to the subject’s notability or public career (e.g., widely credited works, historical record, or legal significance).

If the name is not widely used in reliable sources or directly tied to the subject’s public notability, MOS:GIDINFO suggests it may be inappropriate to include, as it could be seen as unnecessary or potentially harmful.

At present, the deadname is mentioned briefly in the "Early life" section. I am proposing that we keep this single neutral mention if editors agree it meets the criteria above, but remove it from the lead and infobox since those sections are meant to highlight current and notable information rather than historical details. Thoughts from other editors would be appreciated before making further changes. — ★ Mjmatousek ★ (talk • contribs) 17:50, 21 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
