Notability

I'm not (yet) seeing an assertion of notability, and the sources may need looking at - at least one primary, so I've marked for notability. Widefox; talk 14:59, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Name

As a German reader, I flinch when I read her name. Is this her true name, or is this some sort of stage name, does anyone know? If the former, obviously it's no fault of hers and not much she can do about it; it may be a totally harmless word in the language of her country. If the latter, I would like to know more about the background of her decision to choose this name, and how she was able to do an exchange program to Germany with that name. --2003:C0:8F34:B800:419D:3523:207B:FC3D (talk) 10:47, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
