  • Since this hasn't been done for almost 24 hours, I'd say it needs a full discussion. What is the COMMONNAME here? (t · c) buidhe 21:31, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per WP:NAMECHANGES. In any case, the name "Madeline Heiner" appears to be reasonably common whether before or after the Illawarra Mercury article linked by the OP. feminist (talk) 03:27, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Relisting comment: The source cited above is possibly a primary source and is in any case behind a paywall. I get roughly the same number of ghits for each name, and as she was previously known by her maiden name this indicates to me that the name change may not have been widely adopted as yet. In terms of WP:NAMECHANGES as (rightly) cited above, we need to go with the name that recent secondary sources are most often using. Andrewa (talk) 05:09, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
