Talk:Sadie Dupuis

"Real" name
Per WP:STAGENAME, we should be using the name that she's known by. Adding her non-pseudonym, especially in the lead paragraph, is not useful, non-encyclopedic, and may be in violation of WP:BLPNAME. ParkerHiggins ( talk contribs ) 04:32, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Other wiki pages of artists with stage names list non-pseudonym real names. Subject of this article is credited as "Sarah" for output referred to in content of article and should not receive special treatment or use of page for personal promotion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100C:B00A:2AD4:A4A9:1614:1E06:132A (talk) 04:47, 6 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Where the non-pseudonym is notable, that may be worthwhile. In this context, the citations provided do not pass the notability test (a discontinued independent music blog syndicated but not endorsed by Boston.com and a paywalled alumni publication) and are several years old. All recent citations use the subject's preferred name. This is not special treatment, this is a basic application of the Wikipedia policies cited in my first comment.

An overwhelming majority of usages of this artist's name in citations use the name "Sadie," not "Sarah." One of the citations listed for use of "Sarah" in fact links to an article in which only the name "Sadie" is used. Citation for name "Sarah" is inadequate, non-definitive, non-encyclopedic (as mentioned above) and potentially in violation of WP:BLPNAME (also as mentioned above).Kcansvillage (talk) 04:53, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

This person goes by her real name in every other aspect but in perfomance. I've met her - she calls herself Sarah. Every other performance artist with a pseudonym has their real name published - I'm not sure why this is not the case with her as well. Two sources: 1) Her U Mass Amherst thesis work of poetry (referenced in the article) 2) Her father's unfortunate passing (which she references on her public twitter account ) - she is the one paying for his obituary's guest book to stay up on NY Times I'm going to revert it back to include her real name. Either someone is notable enough that they can have their real name posted on wikipedia or they are not notable enough to be up here at all, in which case I would say this article likely does not meet notability guidelines and should be merged with speedy ortiz. Maintaining this artist's privacy should not be an objective of wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:8038:1000:5DBC:8F3E:EFD1:BB83 (talk) 14:19, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
