Talk:Kyle Abbott (The Young and the Restless)

Former Actor Pics
I put them back as I don't feel one editor should be able to just take them down based on personal feelings but, perhaps a discussion should be started. Do others have any preference or input (or suggestions or comments or etc..)?

I wouldn't mind seeing a photo of Blake Hood as Kyle replace the one of Garrett Ryan, however. He is (perhaps arguably) the most notable in the role and there was fan upset with his dismissal.Cebr1979 (talk) 03:16, 27 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Garrett Ryan would remain over Blake Hood, as Ryan held the role for two physical calendar years (2010–12). Both Hood and Hartley Sawyer each aired for shorter time (2012–13, Hood; 2013–14, Sawyer).  As such, I too don't see reason to remove images; Lachlan Buchanan does not bare resemblance to any of the previous portrayers, therefore they aren't in violation of non-free criteria for content.  Though, a free image of Sawyer is on Wikipedia, therefore, that should ultimately be used over a non-free image, per the website's policy on media content.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 16:38, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * (I'm getting off-topic a bit but...)I don't think tenure should be the only factor taken into account when dealing with notability. Blake Hood would definitely be more notable than Garrett Ryan.Cebr1979 (talk) 18:20, 27 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, tenure of an actor also plays into the notability of the character. And while I'm not saying it's the only factor into accounting notability, it is a significant part of establishing a character's notability. Though, a free image would be largely more preferred for previous portrayers over non-free.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 18:26, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Of course I went and said something without looking at the page's edit history first. Sorry about that (didn't I just tell you recently that I wouldn't do that anymore? Lol - old dog/new tricks and all that... I'll continue to work on it, though). I didn't even realise the Hartley Sawyer photo had already been switched so there's room for both now anyways, making my point a moot one. And I do agree about free images and such, I just never mentioned that in my previous post.Cebr1979 (talk) 19:53, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

The image of Ryan is useless. He portrayed the role for less than one and a half years. There are rarely child actor images anymore as additional images, as they usually aren't notable enough. For instance Samantha Bailey portrayed Summer Newman for nearly 3 years and had more central stories than Ryan, but there is no image there. If he were notable enough to warrant an image, then Hood should as well (Although it would just be clutter, none of these actors have really gained any notability in the role and the recasting seems to be a frequent occurrence). He was the first adult to play the role and had bigger storylines. Just saying. It's very unbalanced. — Ar  re  01:17, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

The character's name
The character is NOT named Kyle Jenkins and has not been called that since he was a child on the show. The characters on the show call him "Kyle Abbott," the show's credits and official website lists him as "Kyle Abbott." A person who just recently started watching the show would not know him as "Kyle Jenkins." There is no legitimate reason why the character's Wikipedia page should remain "Kyle Jenkins." --MrKing84 (talk) 18:48, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Those are all valid reasons to start a consensus talk about possibly moving the page. They are NOT valid reasons to edit war (which you have been doing and are still doing) or to move a page by simply copy and pasting (which you just did). Both of those are taken really seriously here on wikipedia and could get you blocked from editing. Perhaps even permanently. I suggest you stop being disruptive and start doing things properly.Cebr1979 (talk) 03:59, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * First of all you are being very rude and condescending and that is also not appreciated here on Wikipedia. Nobody has tried to work to change the page to reflect the character's "COMMONLY" known name. He has not been known as "Kyle Jenkins" for years and since he was aged as an adult, he has been referred to as "Kyle Abbott." I have tried to work in good faith to update the page. The only reason I copied and paste it was because I could not undo Likelikemusic's edit earlier today. But you both try to say WP:COMMONNAME applies here and I don't see it. Especially considering that every Y&R source and other soap opera source COMMONLY refers to the character as Kyle ABBOTT. The page should be updated to reflect that. Like I said earlier, it would be like calling Bill Clinton, Bill Blythe. Yes, Bill Blythe was his birth name, but he is commonly known as Bill Clinton, the same applies here for the Y&R character. If you think WP:COMMONNAME applies here, please explain to me how. --MrKing84 (talk) 04:19, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Because common name always applies on wikipedia. Always. Moving a page by copy and pasting never applies on wikipedia. Never. Edit warring also never applies on wikipedia. Never ever. Nothing about your edit history at Kyle Jenkins shows "good faith." I wasn't being condescending or rude. I was telling you how it is and how things are supposed to be done. If you feel "Kyle Abbott" is his common name now, great! As do I! But that doesn't give you the right to just come in and break wikipedia policies (policies which you know exist, people have been posting about them on your talk page for 9 years now). You don't seem to understand what "common name" means, you're acting as though it means "name right now." Your "Bill Blythe/Clinton" example shows that. "Bill Blythe" has never been his common name. "Kyle Jenkins" has been "Kyle Abbott's" common name. If it's time to change that, fine! Then follow wiki guidelines and start a consensus talk about it so other editors can weigh in. Stop with the edit warring. Like I said, it's been 9 years now (at least).Cebr1979 (talk) 04:39, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * You were (and you still are) being condescending. But if that's your thing, so be it. You are not understanding what I mean by "commonname" does not apply here. I know Wikipedia policies and what I mean is your (or really Livelikemusic's) claim that it applies in this case is not correct. He has been referred to as Kyle Abbott for the last 3 years. I personally have not heard the character "commonly" called Kyle Jenkins since the child actor last played him YEARS AGO! If you would like to work with me to change the name, wonderful. But the character his been known as Kyle Abbott on the show longer than he was ever known as Kyle Jenkins. His last name was barley even mentioned on the show between 2004-2010. I'm glad that we can now work to change the name on the Wikipedia page. But the threats are unnecessary and uncalled for. --MrKing84 (talk) 05:02, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Like I said, those are all valid reasons to start a consensus talk about possibly moving the page. Like I also said, they are NOT valid reasons to edit war. I have not threatened you, I told you you could be blocked from editing, perhaps even permanently. That's not a threat, that's a very real possibility. I'm not going to "work with you" to move the page because that's not something the two of us need to do together. If you start a consensus talk on this matter, I'm sure other editors (myself included) will take part. In fact, if you would just stop for a bit and allow other editors to see this, this could even be considered the beginning of said talk.Cebr1979 (talk) 05:12, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * When I said "work with you" I meant a consensus talk. I figured you'd want to take part in that. But that sounds great. I'll work to make other editors aware of this so that they can take part also. --MrKing84 (talk) 05:19, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * First off, cut-paste moves are frowned upon on Wikipedia, as are edit-wars, which is what you're currently involved in (speaking to MrKing84). The common-name does apply here and anywhere throughout Wikipedia.  Just because you yourself do not see it does not mean it does not apply; majority of the character's history within the series is understood as "Jenkins".  As such, during the primary portrayal of Garrett Ryan, who is the longest-tenured actor on the series, he was referred to as "Kyle Jenkins", even from his birth until his name change following the death of Diane Jenkins.  The amount of incivility on this issue is quite alarming, and IMDb is not verifiable and reliable source on Wikipedia, and using that for your claim (as shown put your dispute resolution) is not substantial enough.  The page will remain at Kyle Jenkins per the common-name policy.  And also, discuss editing, not the editor. I will be waiting to see if other editors put their two cents into this discussion before I return for comment. Oh, and if the edit-warring continues and cut-paste moves, a report will be filed.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 12:59, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * You started the edit war and have a history of it throughout Wikipedia. You have multiple times cited WP:COMMONNAME as the reason for the page to remain "Kyle Jenkins." Have you read WP:COMMONNAME? Do you understand it? This is what it says "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article. If the name of a person, group, object, or other article topic changes, then more weight should be given to the name used in reliable sources published after the name change than in those before the change." See there in the last sentence? Reliable sources published AFTER the name change. You are talking about the character's name from 2010-12. Since he was aged in 2012 (3 years ago BTW) he has been referred to on Y&R NOT as Kyle Jenkins but as Kyle Abbott. He has referred to himself on the show since 2012 as Kyle Abbott, NOT Jenkins. Please tell me Livelikemusic, what in the character's future indicates to you or any other editor that the character and the show will revert to calling the character Kyle Jenkins ever again. He was barely even mentioned on the show from 2004-2010. Then from 2010-12, yes he known as Kyle Jenkins. But for years now he has been known as "Kyle Abbott". The name should be changed because of the last 3 years and for the years ahead. If this character is still on the show 5,10,20 years from now will he be known as Kyle Jenkins or Kyle Abbott? In 2025 is he still going to be commonly known as Kyle Jenkins on the show and in places outside of Wikipedia? Of course not. As I have stated many times before (which you continue to ignore), the show's official website on CBS.com refers to him as "Kyle Abbott". The show's credits refer to him as "Kyle Abbott". Long time soap opera media writer and producer Michael Fairman referred to that character as "Kyle Abbott" back in 2013 when actor Hartley Sawyer left the show. http://michaelfairmansoaps.com/news/hartley-sawyer-confirmed-out-at-the-young-and-the-restless/2013/12/15/ Here is TV Source Magazine referring to the character as Kyle Abbott, http://tvsourcemagazine.com/2015/01/lachlan-buchanan-cast-young-restless-kyle-abbott/ Soap Opera Network referring to the character back in March of 2013 as Kyle Abbott, http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2013/03/blake-hood-out-hartley-sawyer-in-the-young-and-the-restless-recasts-kyle-abbott Daytime Confidential referring to him as Kyle Abbott back in 2013, http://daytimeconfidential.com/2013/03/12/blake-hood-out-hartley-sawyer-in-as-kyle-abbott-on-the-young-and-the-restless . Those are reliable sources that he has been known as Kyle Abbott for the last 3 years and that he will be known as "Kyle Abbott" going ahead. And if not, then what sources are going to be good enough to meet your criteria? He has been commonly known as either "Kyle Abbott" or "Kyle Jenkins Abbott" since the character was aged in 2012 and there is nothing to show that in the future he will be "commonly known" as Kyle Jenkins ever again. That is why your argument that WP:COMMONNAME applies here is doesn't hold up. He is not commonly known as "Kyle Jenkins" outside of Wikipedia and has not been commonly known by that name since 2012. But please show me where outside of Wikipedia for the last 3 years has he been known as "Kyle Jenkins." --MrKing84 (talk) 19:57, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Just weighing in. I was just looking through the Y&R credits (March 6, 2013 for example) where Kyle was credited as "Jenkins", so he was credited as that less than 3 years ago. During both Garrett Ryan and Blake Hood's time in the role, he was credited as Kyle Jenkins. It was only changed to Abbott when Hartley Sawyer played the role (and that wasn't for long). The current Kyle actor has been on the show less than 3 months. So, I think we should definitely leave it as "Kyle Jenkins" for a while. Simply for the fact that he hasn't been known as Kyle Abbott long enough in comparison. Also, it's easier to access. JMO. — Ar  re  10:45, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Here are credits from 2 years ago (May 2013) listing the character as "Kyle Abbott" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_adg9C9yjPM Also here is a CBS.com web archive from June 18, 2012 that credits Blake Hood as "Kyle Abbott" not "Kyle Jenkins," http://web.archive.org/web/20120618222659/http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_young_and_the_restless/cast/? I don't know of a more reliable source other than CBS.com's Y&R page that shows that the character has been commonly known as "Kyle Abbott" since 2012. I would think CBS.com would be a reliable enough source to meet Wikipedia's citation standards. --MrKing84 (talk) 19:50, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm just gonna jump back into this conversation for a moment to say that I don't think the proper understanding of what a "common name" actually is is being displayed here. A "common name" is what the world at large commonly believes a person's/character's/thing's/etc... name to be. If the show were to hire Nicholas Cage to play the Easter Bunny and he remained in the role for the next 400 years... even if the show were to credit the character as "The Bunny of Easter" for that entire time... the character's common name would still be "The Easter Bunny" because that's what the world at large would commonly believe his name to be. All of this talk about Garrett Ryan and 2012 and youtube links is irrelevant. The world at large (or, the ones who actually know who this character is anyways) refers to the character as "Kyle Abbott." We know that because there are multiple sources dating back for multiple years showing us that. This character's common name IS Kyle Abbott.Cebr1979 (talk) 02:07, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Requested move 28 May 2015

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved as proposed. Consensus is close, but favors the move, as does the preference for giving greater weight to more recent sources. bd2412 T 18:18, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Kyle Jenkins → Kyle Abbott (The Young and the Restless) – This The Young and the Restless character as a child was known as "Kyle Jenkins" before 2012. But since 2012 after the character was aged to become an adult, the character has been known as "Kyle Abbott" The character has been commonly known as Kyle Abbott for the better part of 3 years now and multiple websites credit the character as Kyle Abbott, including the TV show's official webpage at CBS.com. Which has listed the character as "Kyle Abbott" since at least June of 2012. The show's credits at the end of the show has credited the character as "Kyle Abbott" since as far back as 2013, and the characters on the show (including the character himself) refers to him as "Kyle Abbott" and has been commonly known by that name since 2012. As the WP:COMMONNAME policy states "If the name of a person, group, object, or other article topic changes, then more weight should be given to the name used in reliable sources published after the name change than in those before the change." As I have previously stated, multiple reliable sources (like the show's own credits and the official webpage) list the character as "Kyle Abbott." Also here on Soap Opera Digest's website back in March of 2013. That is why the name of the page should be updated. Also new viewers of the TV show would not know the character as "Kyle Jenkins" but would know him as "Kyle Abbott," and there is nothing to indicate that the character's name will revert back to "Kyle Jenkins" since that Abbott family has been a prominent family on the show for 35 years now. --Relisted.

 * Support for all the reasons I made in my post here.Cebr1979 (talk) 17:12, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per the arguments listed in previous discussion; the common-name is not "Abbott", but is in fact "Jenkins".  livelikemusic  my talk page! 00:32, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Livelikemusic's reasoning. The character was known as Kyle Jenkins for a longer period. Like I've said before we should hold off on moving the article until more time has passed. Just because he has been credited as "Abbott" for the past couple of years, it doesn't give us enough cause. Abby Newman was only moved from Abby Carlton after her surname was "Newman" for 6 years (as opposed to Kyle being an "Abbott" for just 2 years). — Ar  re  00:44, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The Abby Newman example is a moot one, though. It most likely would have been moved a lot sooner had I been around then.Cebr1979 (talk) 02:29, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Not exactly. It has nothing to do with you. If Abby was moved to Abby Newman in 2012 for instance, that would have been too soon, considering she only started going by Newman after 2009 or so (9 years as Carlton vs 3 years as Newman). Kyle was credited as Jenkins (or occasionally Jenkins Abbott) from 2001 to 2004, and 2010 to 2013. He has only been credited on the show itself as "Kyle Abbott" briefly from early 2013 to early 2014, and again since February 2015. Therefore, he has effectively only been credited as simply "Kyle Abbott" for roughly one year in total out of 7 years or so on the show (disregarding gaps, obviously; and correct me if I'm wrong). That's not very long at all. I would maybe be in favor of moving the article back to "Kyle Jenkins Abbott" but, idk. That's really all I have to say about it. Yes, his common name presently is "Kyle Abbott", but we have to consider the name he was referred to as for the longer period (much longer, in fact). — Ar  re  05:27, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * It's unfortunate, Arre9, that you don't understand the concept of a common name. Oh, well. Maybe you'll learn someday.Cebr1979 (talk) 11:14, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Not that which actor played the role the longest should matter since this is the character's page and not the actors' page. But Garrett Ryan played the role of Kyle for about 23 months as a child. While Blake Hood, Hartley Sawyer, and Lachlan Buchanan have played the role of Kyle for a combined 24 months and counting. Also in some incidences the character has been credited as "Kyle Jenkins Abbott" even when Garrett Ryan was in the role. --MrKing84 (talk) 20:12, 29 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Support for the reason's stated below in the additional comments section. --MrKing84 (talk) 03:07, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Support Quite clear that COMMONNAME takes into account name changes and that sources since the name change should be given preference to those prior to the change. Number   5  7  18:10, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per Number 57. I'll quote the relevant part of WP:UCN: "If the name of a person, group, object, or other article topic changes, then more weight should be given to the name used in reliable sources published after the name change than in those before the change." And I think it's been shown in this discussion that since that character's name change most reliable sources have referred t the character by the new name. Jenks24 (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:

I don't know of any reliable sources that has commonly referred to the character as just "Kyle Jenkins" since the character was aged into adulthood in 2012. Nobody in this discussion opposing this name change has shown any evidence that the character has been commonly called and commonly known as "Kyle Jenkins" since June of 2012. Really the only source that still refers to the character as "Kyle Jenkins" is this Wikipedia page.

Also to address the Abby Carlton/Abby Newman argument. The character of Abby for most of the last 15 years (since the character's creation) has been a constant character on the show, unlike Kyle who was not seen and barely even mentioned on the show from 2004-2010. The character of Kyle for a brief period of time as a baby was the sole custody of his father Jack Abbott (back in 2003-04), who changed the child's full name to "Kyle Jenkins Abbott." Not long after that the character of Kyle would as a baby leave storyline of the show with his mother in 2004. And with the changes in head writers and executive producers on the show between 2004 and 2010, the character of Kyle and the knowledge in continuity of his surname was lost in the scuffle of writer changes over the years. So by 2010 when the character returned, it was understandable that the head writer of Y&R at that time would not know (or care) that an entirely different writing team changed Kyle's surname six years earlier. So the argument that he was commonly known as "Kyle Jenkins" even as a child before 2010 is not entirely true.

The character of Kyle didn't even have a Wikipedia page of his own until 2012. Which was created my Livelikemusic, who is the main opponent of this name change. This "Kyle Jenkins" Wikipedia page was created on August 3, 2012. That was after actor Blake Hood had already started playing to role of Kyle as an adult. It was also after Y&R's official webpage on CBS.com listed the character as "Kyle Abbott" not "Kyle Jenkins." So this Kyle Jenkins Wikipedia page was created after the most reliable source on the internet credited the character as "Kyle Abbott." Also before this page was created, Wikipedia itself listed the character as "Kyle Jenkins Abbott" on the List of The Young and the Restless characters page. In fact the character of Kyle was first listed on that Wikipedia page on March 20, 2011 as "Kyle Jenkins Abbott." Through all the edits on that page between March of 2011 and this page's creation in August of 2012, no editor disputed that the character's last name was Abbott. Only one editor has continuously argued that his name is solely "Kyle Jenkins." That editor just also happens to be the creator of this page and the one still saying the character's surname is Jenkins, when every other reliable source lists the character's name as either "Kyle Jenkins Abbott" (for example Wikipedia itself as far back as March of 2011) or "Kyle Abbott" (Y&R's official webpage on CBS.com as far back as June of 2012). --MrKing84 (talk) 03:06, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment — I never said his name was still "Jenkins", but his common-name is. And what does the point of making "the creator of the page" have to do with anything?  That's creating accusations and assumptions, which is against Wikipedia policy, just so you are aware.  And continually targeting one editor, who just so happens to be me, is also against Wikipedia policy. Kyle Jenkins produces more results than Kyle Abbott, even if by one result.  That still means "Jenkins" lends as the common-name for the character of Kyle; same theory has been presented at the page of Lucas Roberts on Days of Our Lives. The name "Jenkins" negates back to the character's arrival onto the series, and simply changing it three years ago and two recasts have happened since then (as pointed out by another editor) does not mean he common-name suddenly becomes "Abbott".  And, for food for thought, when the page was created (simply moved from a then-characters page), certain policies and infobox guidelines weren't followed as strictly in 2012 as they are now in 2015; around that time, the Soap Project members were still re-building the quality of soap articles from stubs and non-notable pages to notable and sustainable pieces of article. And as it is, the CBS page is not the most reliable, as Wikipedia prefers third-party sourcing over first-party, as it is deemed more reliable and objective than first-party may be.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 16:32, 29 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment — His common name is not "Jenkins" and has not been for years. It was not his even common name when the character returned to the show and had a more prominent role in 2010. I have still yet to see any proof that he was commonly known was just "Kyle Jenkins" from 2004 to 2010. I've watched the show since before the character was born and almost daily between 2004 to 2010. Again, the character of Kyle during that time was barely even mentioned and when he was, it was just as "Kyle" in brief mentions that didn't even mention his last name. Also just like with the character of Abby on Y&R, Lucas Roberts/Lucas Horton has been a consistent on-screen character on that show for over 20 years now. Kyle has not been a consistent on-screen character like Abby and Lucas have been. So there has always been much more ambiguity where Kyle's surname is concerned compared to Abby and Lucas. When the character arrived on the series his name was Christian Newman, so that's not true that the name "Jenkins" "negates back to the character's arrival on the series." How many actors have played the role is an irrelevant argument. The character still remains the same character on the show despite having a new person playing the role. But I'll point out since "an actor's time in the role" is trying to be used as an argument for not changing the name of the page. Blake Hood's, Hartley Sawyer's and Lachlan Buchanan's combined time in the role of Kyle surpasses Garrett Ryan's time in the role. Ryan was in the role for a little less than 23 months. While the adult Kyles (Hood, Sawyer, and Buchanan) have been in the role for a combined 24 months and counting. So now all the adult actors have portrayed the character commonly known as "Kyle Abbott" longer than the child actor played the character as "Kyle Jenkins" or "Kyle Jenkins Abbott." So even the "an actor's time in the role" argument doesn't hold up anymore. Your Google search produced the same results for "Kyle Jenkins" as it did for "Kyle Abbott." So you're contradicting your own argument there. As I've stated and shown before, multiple reliable sources (not just CBS.com) have commonly referred to the character as either "Kyle Abbott" or "Kyle Jenkins Abbott" for years now, even when Garrett Ryan was playing the role as a child. Also I was not "making accusations against you." I just pointed out that you were the one that originally created this page. Anybody can look at that page's edit history and see that, so how is that an assumption or an accusation? If you took offense to that, I'm sorry you felt that way. I just simply stated you created this page and that it was incorrectly titled to begin with. I would still love to see anything from a reliable source between 2004-2010 that commonly referred to the character as just "Kyle Jenkins." Especially considering the show itself hardly ever referred to the character at all during that time. You keep saying he was commonly known as "Jenkins," but by who, when and where? --MrKing84 (talk) 19:59, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

With only the 4 of us having entered this conversation (and with 2 of us supporting and 2 opposing), we're effectively at a stalemate (plus, it's been over a week since we've even discussed it). In the interest of "putting the matter to rest" (at least for now), I will change to being opposed. Sorry, MrKing84, I do agree with you, but... the four of us are all set in our ways and none of us are going to change our minds so we'll effectively just be going around in circles until (at least) a 5th editor joins in. I've added this to my watch list, when/if that happens, we can all take it up again then. Cheers!Cebr1979 (talk) 00:16, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

I propose moving the page for the TV character Kyle Jenkins to Kyle Abbott (The Young and the Restless). Discussion on the talk page found here has stalled. Do you support this move? MrKing84 (talk) 02:09, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Support
Although daytime dramas are occasionally repeated (primarily on a specialized venue, such as Soapnet), such series basically exist in the here-and-now. If, as of this writing, the program's credits list this character's name as "Kyle Abbott", then the main title header of the article should be Kyle Abbott (The Young and the Restless). A compromise solution would be to indicate the header as Kyle Jenkins Abbott, but some may not agree, because the credits do not use the full name, "Kyle Jenkins Abbott". Another, admittedly extreme, compromise solution would be to treat this fictional character as two connected separate entities, with two linked articles, one for his period as "Kyle Jenkins" and the other for his current period as "Kyle Abbott".
