XMen Days of Future Past Page Name Discussion
I was curious as to the reasoning behind not changing Elliot's casting deadname to their common name; in the FILMCAST, it states: "All names should be referred to as credited, or by common name supported by a reliable source."

There is a reliable source in Elliot's own writing detailing their common name. Is there a reasoning I'm unfamiliar with for *not* changing it given that the name no longer accurately reflects who they are? Any new users trying to find works that they've worked on whom are using Elliot from this point forward won't necessarily recognize a deadname, and given the topic content (published movies) it's unlikely that the credited works will ever be changed. While it might cause minor difficulty to anyone alt tabbing between the movie's credit screen and a computer, the references they'll see from this point onwards will most likely be around Elliot, not Ellen. As such and given that the words of the FILMCAST give the choice, it feels like Elliot is more appropriate and I was curious behind the reasoning in reverting it.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

 * The common name supported by reliable sources at the time of the film was the name as credited. The reliable source is the credits and all other news and reviews about the film used as references in the article. Someone watching the film and viewing the credits will see the credited name.
