I've recently highlighted the issues regarding this page. It would seem that although we've managed to atleast to improve the accuracy of some naming issues, many of the problems still continue. Sabrina, is still distressed at the fact that it says born Alberto. Her passport and other offical documents say only Sabrina Sophie Pretto, so why should her wikipedia page say anything otherwise? She's had to through a lot to make these official changes, she doesn't want to see Alberto connceted with her anymore. Perhaps this seems like an extreme view, but we have to respect transpeople's feelings here. We're also working with google to try to fix similar issues there, we'd appreciate all of your support too, if it's impossible to not connect her with her deadname as well as other previous endeavours that intentionally or unintentionally disclose personal information, then we feel that the only way at this point would be to take the whole page down. Hope this is understood. Jamanthony (talk) 19:57, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
I would say that she was a public figure under her birthname, as a professional dancer and content creator. She became famous under that name. However, I think it is very important to respect the privacy of trans women, as one myself. I have removed her birth name from the article. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 18:20, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Per WP:DEADNAME, when someone is primarily notable under a previous name, that name should be mentioned in the lede (but nowhere else). I am restoring, especially given that most if not all of the refs use that name. Lard Almighty (talk) 18:35, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
The refs don't need to say born Alberto. They simply refer to her as Alberto. If it is not the same person, why are they being used as refs? Lard Almighty (talk) 19:51, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
If a WP:BLP says "born Alberto Pretto", shouldn't there be a ref that says "born Alberto Pretto"? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:41, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
A living transgender or non-binary person's former name should be included in the lead sentence of their main biographical article only if they were notable under it; introduce the name with "born" or "formerly"
This is clearly the case with Pretto. Indeed, the creation of this article predates her transition, so she was clearly notable before. Lard Almighty (talk) 07:24, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
That seems clear enough. I'd prefer "formerly" since I haven't seen a ref that says "born" (I'm a bit of a WP:BLP-fanatic). Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:10, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ok, so it looks like some people here are focussing on protocol rather than reality. Honestly, this a Person, a transwoman and i think standard procedures don't necessarily apply here. Yes, the Wikipedia Page started before her transition, but now she doesn't want this information to be so readily public. There are other articleson other platforms relating to her transition and we're working to rectify that too. By the way, she would have joined this conversation herself, but for some reason Wikipedia Is blocking her IP address. We'll see if i can get her involved more directly in the next few days. If you're all desperate to hold onto the achievements of Alberto Pretto, i would recomend completely disassociating this identity from Sabrina Pretto entirely, because they're not the same people Jamanthony (talk) 10:56, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
It's not about anything other than Wikipedia policies and procedures, and yes they do apply here. We have to be even-handed in how we treat all living people, and that is why we have policies like WP:DEADNAME and WP:BLP so that everyone knows where they stand.
