Shouldnt Andrew be referenced to as "Mountbatten-Windsor" in places where he's called Andrew in the article, like every other citizen? Rexophile (talk) 02:12, 15 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
Why do we list the former name when the whole point of that was that he was deprived of this title, so as to extinguish it as if it never existed. Listing it is akin to deadnaming trans people, or listing a pre-dead poll name change. ~2026-45576-24 (talk) 05:07, 21 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
- Let's ignore that WP:DEADNAME does not apply to this article and follow how it is otherwise applied. From the third paragraph:
Unless a living transgender or non-binary person was notable under a former name, the former name should not appear in any page (including questions, lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc.), even if reliable sourcing exists.
Again ignoring that DEADNAME doesn't apply, we see here that there is an exception when a person was notable under a former name. (And I don't believe I need to make a case that he was notable under his former name.) So this exception would apply, even if DEADNAME was expanded and covered this article. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:49, 21 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
