Talk:Blake Brockington

Birth name related changes
I suggest the immediate removal of Blake's "birth" name from the article. He, and most transgender people unless explicitly stated as preference, never want to be called by their birth names, and never want those names to become common knowledge. It should be policy to leave those names out in most cases.

Adding his birth name adds nothing to the article and promotes the same type of transphobic insensitivity on the part of cisgender people that killed him, and continues to kill people like him. I am asking you to consider the pain that including extremely private, sensitive information that he did not want known is currently bringing to those who knew and loved him, and to treat other transgender people with the same respect.

–– This articles are not just about the suicide, but rather the entire biography. For example, Murder of George Floyd is a separate article from George Floyd.. Similarly, Suicide of Blake Brockington and Suicide of Leelah Alcorn should both be separate articles. Neel.arunabh (talk) 04:44, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Suicide of Blake Brockington → Blake Brockington
 * Suicide of Leelah Alcorn → Leelah Alcorn
 * Oppose This seems more like a split proposal, but it's an oppose all the same. This is a fairly standard WP:SINGLEEVENT situation for both articles. The biography sections in both pages aren't very long, so there would be no reason to create two brief standalone pages, and neither would survive an AFD/merge discussion anyway.

 * Support rename, to match scopes of articles; oppose split because Nohomersryan is correct that stand-alone mini-articles on their deaths would just be merged back into the bios. We need an article per person not two redundant micro-articles. See WP:SIZE, WP:SPLIT, WP:SUMMARY. Unless and until one of these articles got very long and complicated there would be no cause for a split.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  10:25, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * support rename and oppose split this is about the person in general not just the event they are notable for—blindlynx (talk) 17:52, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
