Redirects

[edit]

I've reversed the redirect that was done. We cannot assume that Josephine Zec is more commonly known as "Josie Zec" unless there are enough sources to back-up and verify the claim. Further guidance can be found at WP:REDIR, WP:UCN, WP:ON, and WP:NC. The correct title for now should be Josephine, with her stage name alias of Josie shown in the infobox. This method is also done for Declan Donnelly (also commonly known by his stage name, Dec). Wes Mouse 00:07, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Josie ZecJosephine Zec – Page was moved without discussion, on the assumption that because the artist's stage name is "Josie" that the atricle should reflect this, instead of her full name "Josephine". There are no sources to verify that Josie is a more common name, yet there are many sources that show Josephine as her name. – Wes Mouse 00:51, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is the thing about her name, most sources sway towards 'Josie' as being a shortened version of her birth name, just for stage name purpose. Similar to Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly - on Wikipedia these articles is entitled by their full names, despite the fact they are more known by their shortened stage names "Ant & Dec". And that's the question I am raising above (in some ways). Should we be following suit and entitle the article by her full name (like it is done for Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly) or assume that she will be known as Josie Zec for the rest of her life?
