Talk:Taulupe Faletau

"Toby"?
This source says: "An email from the Welsh Rugby Union before the Wales v Italy game indicated that Toby Faletau wanted to be known by his birth name of Taulupe Faletau from here on in." So I'm not sure we should be using the nickname "Toby" any more. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:36, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * That's fine for all future uses, but he was known as Toby for several years. People may not be aware that "Taulupe Faletau" and "Toby Faletau" are the same person. – PeeJay 19:35, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I would not object to it appearing in the article. But this is his express wish. For the whole of the 2015 Six Nations Championship he was referred to as Taulupe. That's how he's known in Newport. Exactly how many international rugby players are there with the surname Faletau? I think this may be a WP:BLP matter? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:44, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * In the article you linked to, though, he says he doesn't mind being known as Toby, he'd just prefer to be Taulupe in print. I know we're sort of a print publication, but the article is located at Taulupe Faletau, and it's made quite clear that's his "primary" name, so to speak. All I'm saying is that we should put "Toby" in bold at the top of the page too, since that's still a name he's commonly known by. Even commentators such as Eddie Butler call him Toby on occasion; he corrects himself afterwards, but it's still a name Faletau goes by. – PeeJay 09:57, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Check this out too; he explicitly states, "Everyone assumes they have to call me Taulupe, but Toby is fine". – PeeJay 09:59, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that (not that we can ever trust The Daily Mail though, of course). No strong objections. I'm left wondering how or when this question will be re-visited. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:14, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you think his announcement should itself be added somewhere in the article? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:44, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, definitely. Aside from his on-field accomplishments, his "change of name" (so to speak) is one of the biggest stories of his career. I can do it when I get home from work or you can do it, I'm not fussed. – PeeJay 11:28, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
