Historical articles are useless without birth names edit

This person was not born "Maria". Concepts like "deadnaming" are anathema to actual history. Either they assumed a "stage name" or did a legal name change. Either way, any proper biography was factually identify the persons' actual identity. 70.163.147.152 (talk) 22:59, 29 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

@70.163.147.152: From MOS:GENDERID: "Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography § Changed names calls for mentioning the former name of a transgender person if they were notable under that name." Even if you disagree with this guideline, Creveling's birth name has never been released publicly, so there are no reliable sources that could verify one and warrant its inclusion.

It is nobody concern what her birth name was. Including it on description would be disrespectful and also useless, since she had legally changed her name years ago (your apportation would be valid in case her legal name was missing, for instance, and we had only have her nickname). But in that case, it is completely irrelevant to know, since it would be the same as wanting to include her favourite color or dish, but difference is that this information would be, even though completely prescindible, not offensive to post; unlike the birth name of a transgender person, which would be both.
Thank you for the apportation and hope mine is clear as well. SinglewingedAngel (talk) 22:29, 2 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Death references edit

Shouldn't the death fact refer to the tweet by Richard Lewis? The articles that are the references now all just refer to the same tweet, so why not cut out the middleman? Citing news sources does not increase credibility over using their source directly. It was like that before: revision 932889717 Richard Lewis' tweet Džuris (talk) 14:01, 30 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Džuris: Richard Lewis' tweet does not mention details in the sentence that are verified by the other sources listed, specifically how and at what age she passed away. CentreLeftRight 21:16, 31 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
It would also be useful to perhaps add some more information on the topic, since health problems were not specified nor the conditions she was facing in the event. Nevertheless, speculation should be avoided in order to be respectful, as there is yet nothing confirmed about the death cause itself (it would be good to mention this as well).
