MOS:SURNAME concerns
This article seems to use its subject's forename exclusively. This is in violation of MOS:SURNAME which states "After the initial mention of any name, the person should generally be referred to by surname only" and "Generally speaking, subjects should not be referred to by their given name." So all of the use the subject's forename should be changed to the subject's surname.

As examples, this is how the article current reads:

While this is how it should read:

 * I'm hesitant to apply MOS:SURNAME here. Tali is a fictional character, and this is not a biography; while real people are generally referred to by surname in any formal discussion (some exceptions granted), I don't think any such standard really exists for characters. At least on Wikipedia, Lara Croft switches between first name and last name freely to suit flow and clarity, and Homer Simpson is firmly first name only -- and I think this trend would reflected in most coverage of the characters. (The Homer example's a bit unfair, since in that case calling him Simpson could easily lead to confusion between the other family members and the show itself.) Certainly, pretty much all the sources cited in this article refer to the character as, if not her full name, Tali alone and never Zorah. (As far as I remember, this trend is reflected in the series itself.)
 * I don't want to say all characters should be first name either, of course. But as far as fictional entities go, I think it'd be best to consider what names they're generally referred to (in some cases, like Lara or Deus Ex's Adam Jensen, I think you'd have a free hand to choose or switch between either). As an opposite: Fallout: New Vegas has a character called "Mr. House", almost always called that when not simply called "House". But his first name is mentioned, and if we referred to him as Robert it'd be madly confusing for everyone reading. Similarly, I genuinely think recurringly calling this character Zorah would be misleading for new readers and simply confusing for readers aware of the character. – The Millionth One (talk) (contribs) 21:49, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Tali'Zorah is probably one name, and if it is, then the subject should be referred to as Tali'Zorah. WPEditor42 (talk) 18:59, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
