Talk:Marion Maréchal

Youngest since 1791?

Who was younger than her in the 1790s? Because The Guardian already claimed Louis Antoine de Saint-Just was younger than her in 1791, and that's clearly wrong. Unless anyone can find a name of a Revolution-era parliamentarian age 22 or younger, I don't think that's an accurate claim, even if it is in newspapers. -LtNOWIS (talk) 04:05, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

One of the six youngest MPs of the new assembly...

I don't understand why this phrase is there, since she is the youngest. Channelwatcher (talk) 16:51, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Why isn't there any information about her own political views? It only refeers to the "politicals views of the party" whith no further informations. I think people have the right to know that the FN is a far-right party and has an historic of antisemitism, racism,... It's from my point a view a dangerous party with dangerous ambition and even though it's only an opinion, i have the feeling this "article" was only wrote and reworked numerous times by own guys of the party. Normalisation of violence is dangerous, she's from an far-right party and there's no mention about this. My main language isn't english and i've no sufficient skills to rework this but this article has to be reworked, it's dangerous to let people think she's a normal person from a normal party. They are extremist and it needs to be write somewhere.The ex-leader of the party, before their efforts to seem like a normal and accepted party has said numerous times that the german invasion in 1940 was "not so bad" and the number of death jews where exagerated. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/feb/16/jean-marie-le-pen-convicted— Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.134.120.139 (talk) 15:20, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

For two days she became a strawberry grower

What is the relevance of that? For two days she mucked in with real folk and did real work for a change. So what? Is it supposed to imply that she now knows what real work is like?? If so that is a ridiculous claim. It is on a par with Sarah Palin saying she understood foreign policy because she lived in Alaska and could see Russia from her window! If it isnt supposed to imply that.. what is the point of that statement?? 87.115.88.94 (talk) 16:00, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Procedural close – The move to Marion Maréchal was performed without consensus, so that the appropriate process is to revert to the longstanding title Marion Maréchal-Le Pen. Editors are free to open a move request to Marion Maréchal if they wish. (closed by non-admin page mover) — JFG ^talk 20:42, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Marion Maréchal → Marion Maréchal-Le Pen – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. Panam2014 (talk) 14:31, 26 May 2018 (UTC) WP:COMMONNAME --Panam2014 (talk) 14:31, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi the original contributor has been blocked on the francophone wikipedia after the same removal of the name (and his controversial use of a name resembling that of another wikipedian as I understand it). See discussion on the Bistrot (village pump) here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Le_Bistro/26_mai_2018#Tentative_de_renommage_de_la_page_Marion_Maréchal-Le_Pen.

First of all his edits were not appreciated (even the birth name had been changed) and a discussion is also happening here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion:Marion_Mar%C3%A9chal-Le_Pen#Proposition_de_renommage. For the moment the name has been kept to Marion Maréchal LePen on the francophone wikipedia.--Nattes à chat (talk) 19:34, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

@Nattes à chat: Panam2104 is a fake account and have been blocked for this. Also, I have not moved the article. Yesterday, the article Marion Maréchal-Le Pen have been moved to Marion Maréchal here without consensus. And I have opened a request move to reverse the move. --Panam2014 (talk) 19:44, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Yes Panam2014 I did not mean you made that first move sorry, but I got lost in the pseudos. I just wanted to stress that the change to Marion Maréchal had not been discussed, and is IMO not adequate. Sorry for this! --Nattes à chat (talk) 20:04, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Marion Maréchal-Le Pen → Marion Maréchal – This is about Marion Marechal-Le Pen’s (MMLP) last name. Per French law and French naming customs, Ms Marechal-Le Pen can use either her father’s surname, ‘Marechal’, or a combo of said father’s name with her mother’s name, ‘Le Pen’, giving ‘Marechal-Le Pen’. She has been using that combo for about 8 years now. Very recently Marechal-Le Pen has decided to drop the maternal moiety (LePen) from her own usual name. In the reference linked here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/25/marine-le-pens-niece-tipped-as-future-far-right-leader-drops-family-name Marechal-Le Pen’s likely motivations for the move are discussed. IMHO, those are not relevant when it comes to decide how MMLP’s page should be named. (However some political opponents to MMLP may resent the change, because of a perceived advantage MMLP might derive from it.) I suggest Wikipedia:Article_titles#Name_changes recommendations are followed. Mainstream media in English and in French have quietly followed suite, and it is unlikely that Marion Marechal would change again overnight. Bernarddb (talk) 01:36, 27 May 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 02:18, 5 June 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. — JFG ^talk 15:45, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

• strongly oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Marion Maréchal Le Pen is known as MMLP since 2010. So, the change is too recent. --Panam2014 (talk) 02:48, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Nattes à chat: --Panam2014 (talk) 02:50, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

In response to Panam2014, who opposes the move, citing WP:COMMONNAME: Well, if you google “Marion Maréchal-Le Pen”, filtering for results in English dated May 24 (the day after the change was announced) or later, you’ll find an overwhelming number of pages now calling MMLP ‘Marion Maréchal’. They are mostly reliable news items, announcing the name change, her previous name being mentioned, of course (those English sources may have conformed with French sources, which by and large immediately made the jump to the new name — under French laws they could be sued if they didn't). As a consequence, to follow WP:COMMONNAME and also Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(people)#Self-published_name_changes, the name should be changed to ‘Marion Maréchal’ without further delay. — Bernarddb (talk) 12:58, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Bernarddb: there are no reason to google from 24 May only. We have sources since 2009. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:11, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Panam2014: There are, inded! Wikipedia:Article_titles#Name_changes advises to give more weight to reliable sources published after the name change when deciding whether the article title should change. Too bad the relevant recommendations have been missed, before one has 1) requested a page move; 2) opposed reversal of said move! --Bernarddb (talk) 13:36, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Bernarddb: Time must be allowed. All the sources you are talking about are centered on the name change. We need sources that talk about his activity. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:50, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

I don't see with this would be a need. It's not required by COMMONNAME. NAH 13:56, 27 May 2018 (UTC).

No, it is required per WP:CRYSTAL because we don't know if the sources will use again MMLP or they will not talk about her. --Panam2014 (talk) 14:13, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Panam2014: I can think of two events in the future that might happen and justify the status quo: 1) MMLP might change her mind and switch back to the name she’s been using until last week (unlikely); 2) Medias might also change their mind and decide to challenge MMLP’s rights to a name and not follow the recent change (irresponsible, unlikely). But one shouldn’t care! because there is this rule WP:CRYSTAL: anticipated events must be verifiable; one should not tailor the article to accomodate for potential future events, because… Wikipedia is not a crystal ball! One should rely on present actual facts, and sources. And they all tell us: at present the name is ‘Marion Maréchal’. -- Bernarddb (talk) 14:44, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Bernarddb: No, the sources are about her name change. For that we should wait per CRYSTAL. --Panam2014 (talk) 14:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Panam2014: 1) The sources are about MMLP, full point. What further the sources are about is irrelevant (her change of name, the new school she’s about to head, her role within FN, her absence at the party’s Convention, her chances in 2022, etc. Quite a few, BTW. You didn't see them?). 2) You read WP:CRYSTAL the other way round. I respectfully suggest you try again. -- Bernarddb (talk) 15:31, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Bernarddb: no there are no full point. The sources are about her name change and it is important. I am not convinced with your argument. --Panam2014 (talk) 15:34, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

• Support - I agree it would have been better to give this a bit more time, but since we're here we should resolve it. Major news sources on the continent (The Week, The Times, Ouest-France, Le Progres) are covering the name change and her social media accounts reflect it as well, indicating her express preference. Redirect will be left in place, and the lead should make reference to her old name. -- Netoholic @ 03:28, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
• Support When a subject's name changes (and it's clearly sourced) it's natural to update the article title at the time and not wait to shift at glacial pace. Timrollpickering 08:06, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
• Support, as major sources follow this new usage, as it is indeed natural to follow the subject's will on this topic too, and according to WP:COMMONNAME. NAH 12:39, 27 May 2018 (UTC).

@Netoholic and Timrollpickering: with a Google search tool, most of sources write MMLP and not MM. --Panam2014 (talk) 12:53, 27 May 2018 (UTC) @Mélencron, Aréat, and Impru20: --Panam2014 (talk) 13:11, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Panam2014: WP:CANVASSING named hand-picked editors is frowned upon. If you wanted to alert a certain set of editors potentially interested in this discussion, you should have done it on a neutral group page, such as a Wikiproject on French politics is such a thing exists. Your action is now casting doubt on the outcome of this move request, regardless of its outcome. Please don't do this again. — JFG ^talk 11:46, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

@JFG: this is not "Canvassing". Canvassing is made in intention of influencing the outcome of a discussion in a particular way. My message was nonpartisan and neutral. And the users could read my messages and the messages of others editors. The contributors I notified are not my friends, I just know that they are interested in politics and that their opinion can be interesting. In addition, they have had a different opinion of mine so we can not say they are my allies. --Panam2014 (talk) 13:46, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. Please understand that such a call does look bad regardless of your good faith. — JFG ^talk 13:50, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

To elaborate, it's fair to call editors interested in politics, but it would also be fair to call editors interested in motivations of name changes, editors interested in adoption, or editors interested in upholding Wikipedia conventions. Even if your chosen editors include a diversity of political points of view, that is still a group of hand-picked people, which may lead to bias in results, even unwittingly. — JFG ^talk 13:56, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

I have responded in detail in your talk page. Perhaps the character has several dimensions, but she is known primarily as a politician. For the rest, it is not because contributors are interested in one of the dimensions of the character, that it determines the title they will choose. Best regards. --Panam2014 (talk) 14:34, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm aware of this discussion but currently ambivalent, so I'll probably hold off on !voting until later. Mélencron (talk) 14:20, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose Premature move, she has been known for a long time as Lepen, her political notoriety is based on that. If her name is changed to Marion Maréchal, I think the introduction in the article should mention she was long knowned as "Marion Maréchal Lepen". --Nattes à chat (talk) 05:23, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

@Nattes à chat: Because “she has been known for a long time as Lepen”? No. Should, with the same reasoning, the encyclopedia refrain from reporting too soon the sudden death of celebrities (reliably sourced) because they have been known for a long time as living?! Of course not, readers are entitled to an up-to-date content. -- Bernarddb (talk) 07:38, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

@Bernarddb: You have made your point. Please refrain from WP:BLUDGEONING other commenters further, unless you have new policy arguments to bring to the discussion. — JFG ^talk 11:49, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

@Nattes à chat: Sorry for being boorish, Nattes à chat. No offense meant. -- Bernarddb (talk) 13:09, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

• Support – It took me a while to decide on my position here. On the one hand, sudden name changes like Chelsea Manning or Dnipro are often controversial in the early days and become generally supported over time (both of those took about one year to settle). On the other hand, this person made a very public decision to only revert to her original name, which was “Marion Maréchal" since the day she was formally recognized by her legal father Samuel Maréchal at age 2; she only added "Le Pen" to raise awareness of her public persona when she entered the French regional elections, 2010, aged 20 (she had first ran for local office in 2008 as "Marion Maréchal"). Thus, it can be argued that her withdrawal from politics since 2017, added to her public request to be called only "Maréchal" from now on, form a strong-enough basis to acknowledge this change immediately. A number of sources already referred to her as "Marion Maréchal" even before she decided to drop "Le Pen". Naturally, the "Le Pen" name should remain mentioned prominently in the lead sentence of her bio. — JFG ^talk 11:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose per the greater recognizability of the current title (with recognizability being one of the naming criteria). Dekimasuよ! 21:13, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
• Support per Wikipedia:Article_titles#Name_changes עם ישראל חי (talk) 18:08, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
• Support: Now, I'm not too happy about this change, but JFG has convinced me that it should be done. Just, well, do feature "Le Pen" prominently, please. That was her public persona for a number of years, and must be acknowledged. — Javert2113 (talk; please ping me in your reply on this page) 03:13, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose per MOS:IDENTITY and Dekimasu. Until the present title stops being the common name, we don't need to consider the issue of self-identification.  — Amakuru (talk) 19:32, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
• Mild Oppose. When a subject's heritage originates outside the English-speaking world, it is good practice to consult the Wikipedia in her native language for guidance as to how her name appears there. It may be also helpful to consult Wikipedias around the spectrum of world languages as to naming consensus, if any. Her native French Wikipedia has retained Marion Maréchal-Le Pen with lengthy talk page discussions regarding the proposed name change. Tellingly, however, throughout other European languages, particularly around the European Union, she appears under her streamlined name in the Danish Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Spanish Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Swedish Wikipedia or Ukrainian Wikipedia. Other Wikipedias, such as the Norwegian or Russian have retained "Le Pen". Since the English Wikipedia covers the entire English-speaking world, the British or the Australians may approach the matter differently than the Canadians or the Americans.    Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 14:29, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Marion Maréchal-Le Pen → Marion Maréchal – Time to uphold this person's name change per WP:NAMECHANGES and WP:SPNC. She returned to her birth name after having added "Le Pen" from 2010 to May 2018 for political exposure. Since then, French journalistic sources have largely covered her under the shorter name (most notably during the recent Gilets jaunes protests), and the French Wikipedia has made the switch. — JFG ^talk 06:46, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose for now. Support. The nom talks about French sources, but what about English? NAMECHANGES and COMMONNAME require us to look for the most commonly used name in *English* reliable sources, but no evidence is provided one way or the other on usage there. I will look again in more detail later though.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:00, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

A search for "yellow vests" and "Marion" yields a majority of results calling her only "Marion Maréchal".[1] Selecting "yellow vests" ensures recent coverage only, in English, and selecting "Marion" avoid biasing the results towards one version of the name or the other. — JFG ^talk 07:54, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Alright, I've had a look, and although English references to her are sparse in recent months, it does seem like there's been a shift.[2][3][4] Changed to support.
