Talk:Julia Allison

Last name
You have removed her last name of Baugher claiming including it is somehow a Biographies of living persons violation. Her last name is mentioned in numerous articles over the past 15 years. Rolling Stone in 2023:, Slate in 2018: , Wired in 2008:. What is your reasoning behind this? How is inclusion a BLP violation? Thriley (talk) 22:38, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Allison's last name hasn't been Baugher since she was in college. None of her fame came with that name, and it's not relevant (ie: you wouldn't see Jennifer Aniston's post with her former last name). Honoring the privacy of living people is part of wikipedia's ethos. I think we should respect this. Sanskrita3000 (talk) 20:37, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It's a perhaps unfortunate aspect of being an encyclopedia that we list people's full names at the start of their articles, even if they're universally known by a nickname; it goes by reliable sources. Jennifer Aniston appears to be an unuseful comparison anyway; we list her parents' names as well as her full name, are you referring to her former married name? In this case, as says, multiple reliable sources give her birth name, including the very recent Rolling Stone article, which appears to rest partly on interviewing her (and presumably it's also in the book). She was also widely known for her college column and had already written magazine articles; see the Rolling Stone article, which was my source for the "rebranding" phrase: Lorenz wrote: "[After] arriving in New York .... Allison started writing under her first and middle name, Allison, instead of her real last name, Baugher." I'm afraid that horse is long out of the barn. I consider her father's and sibling(s)' name(s)—her father's and a brother's name are in a couple of sources—to be unnecessary personal information about non-public figures—but not her own original last name.
