Suggestion to add more sources for daughter August

Latest comment: 10 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello, I've noticed that the sentence mentioning the birth of his daughter, August Francesca Coppola Cage, could be strengthened a bit more with additional citation.

I suggest adding the following high-quality sources to that statement: PEOPLE Magazine: https://people.com/parents/nicolas-cage-riko-shibata-welcome-baby-girl/ The Independent: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/nicolas-cage-riko-shibata-birth-daughter-b2162403.html Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks so much! Jeffbird57 (talk) 21:16, 22 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

His name was changed legally, there's no need for his old name to be here.

He changed it legally. Sugarcanedrift (talk) 12:44, 17 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Moreover everyone knows him as Nicolas Cage. So, what's the point of dead naming him? Sugarcanedrift (talk) 12:45, 17 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

It's misleading to say "dead naming" when he didn't go through a change in gender identity, also having his birth name mentioned helps show family connections along with how the man didn't always go by "Cage" in his adult life. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 16:41, 17 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
