Natalia Kills → Teddy Sinclair – Various newbies have been moving the article and seeing as I've got it move protected I figured I'd start a move request - Should the article be moved to Teddy Sinclair ?, (I have no opinion on the matter), Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 23:04, 29 May 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 15:44, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

• Support/Comment - Yeah, it should be moved. But moved to "Natalia Keery-Fisher". She might want to keep changing her stage name on numerous occasions, so no more moves would be needed. She's already changed her stage name 5 times. Also, a section called "Stage names" or "Known as names" could be added to the article. Kei_Jo (Talk to me baby! :þ) 23:14, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Support this alternative move. Practical suggestion. Andrewa (talk) 11:30, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

• I don't usually comment once RMs are closed however I had no idea anyone commented, Obviously I had no idea this was moved multiple times either so simply wanted to thank Kei_Jo for proposing a much better name so thanks :), Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 02:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Not moved. There is a clear absence of consensus after extended discussion. bd2412 T 14:33, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Natalia Keery-Fisher → Teddy Sinclair – As proposed by Kei Jo. It's a legal name change, so it has a bit more finality to it than the other stage names. The middle names aren't needed in the title; "Teddy Sinclair" is her common name. —Guanaco 01:58, 23 June 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. DrStrauss talk 14:36, 30 June 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

@Davey2010 and Andrewa: What do you think? —Guanaco 02:07, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Survey

• Oppose - Well I suggested this name above and it was ignored so sorry to be a dick but I don't see why it should be moved again, I gave everyone the opportunity to have the Teddy name the first time round and it was decided another name was better so now we should stick with that/this name otherwise come a years time she'll get bored and yet again decide to change her name. –Davey2010^Talk 02:11, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
• Support per the nom. If that's her new legal name, and common usage is unclear, then per MOS:IDENTITY for a BLP we should be using her current preferred name. As an aside, @Guanaco: please could you amend the wording of your close of the RM above to make it clear that the move was to "Natalia Keery-Fisher" rather than the proposed "Teddy Sinclair". It confused me when I first looked at it.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:57, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose. Was too notable for too long pre-name change. New name is a stage name, is for promotion, not identity. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:35, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Discussion

• Just for the record once this RM is finished I'll be having this move-indeffed to stop the back & fourth moving, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 02:22, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Since I was asked, I think Guanaco should present some evidence that it's the common name. I think that it's most unlikely to have settled down already, but interested to see the evidence.

The admin who is asked to move-indeff the article is also likely to want some evidence that this is necessary. We generally prefer to warn and if necessary block the warring parties, on the theory that if the warnings are ignored, in time they'll just take their war elsewhere in Wikipedia, so why not just stop it now with minimum inconvenience to others. Andrewa (talk) 04:10, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

I didn't mean to say that Teddy Sinclair is necessarily the common name of all of them, but between Teddy Natalia Noemi Sinclair and just Teddy Sinclair, the concise name is preferred and best understood. Kei Jo moved the article to Teddy Natalia Noemi Sinclair, which simply isn't common.

Based on Google search hits and media references, most common seems to be Natalia Kills, then Teddy Sinclair, and less commonly Natalia Keery-Fisher. Over time, if her future career is successful and she doesn't change her name again, Teddy Sinclair will increase in relative frequency. One factor in favor of choosing Sinclair is that it's her preferred and legal name, and this is a BLP. A quote from her, attributed to her Instagram account:

"A year ago when I got married to Willy Moon I took his last name (Sinclair),” the 28-year-old wrote. “For a long time the friends and family closest to me have called me Teddy, and my husband decided it would be beautiful to spend the rest of my life with my most intimate name united with my new married name. So for a year I have been Mrs Teddy Natalia Noemi Sinclair, and I’ve never felt so natural, honest and empowered… And I’m finally ready to invite you all to address me personally as I feel we are so close and I am so grateful for your support and love."[1]

I'm not personally invested in this; to be honest, I hadn't heard of her (by any name) before closing the last RM. Let's not worry about move-protection. These RMs have been civil, and one reverted move doesn't constitute a war. —Guanaco 05:03, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

• Hi, The move protection would hopefully put an end to the moving, Unfortunately even long term editors like Kei had moved the article without even realising there was an RM so as I said whatever the consensus here - Once that consensus is reached this should be move protected otherwise (and I don't mean this in a nasty way) but we're going to still have everyone move this without any idea about the RM, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 14:31, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

You're saying that Kei Jo moved the article while the last RM was open? If so, you're right, that is not good. Andrewa (talk) 15:30, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Nope sorry I meant they'd moved the article without looking at the talkpage first, They moved the article when the RM was closed so I don't blame them at all - They assumed a name which per consensus was unfortunately wrong, What I didn't add is that the move protection would basically stop accidental moves too - It's all to easy to assume something without looking at TP so as I said I don't blame Kei for the move - It was an accidental error so all's cool :), Thanks ,–Davey2010^Talk 19:44, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure she legally changed her given name to include Teddy. It's a lot more legal work to change the given name than the last name. Stage name, yes, for sure. [2] WP:SPNC favors current name Teddy Sinclair, but her body of work still favors Natalia Kills as she has released charted albums under that name. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:29, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Teddy Sinclair was used as her songwriting credit when she won the Grammy so that helps boost using Teddy Sinclair as the more recent article name. But it could be any of those three. Just pick one, and stick with it. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:46, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Natalia Keery-Fisher → Teddy Sinclair – Her current legal name is "Teddy Natalia Noemi Sinclair", her maiden name is "Cappuccini". "Keery-Fisher" was never her name, it is her mothers name according to Sinclair herself: http://www.papermag.com/teddy-sinclair-2623212398.html Airale (talk) 23:59, 12 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 14:07, 25 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. SITH (talk) 00:37, 4 February 2019 (UTC)--Relisting. SITH (talk) 09:32, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose - Given the amount of names she's had I'm more included to stick with the current one - She could easily have a name change meaning we'd all be here again and it could end up being a repeated cycle, If she continues to stick with "Teddy Sinclair" then maybe in 2022 we can revisit this but until then the name should remain as is. –Davey2010^Talk 00:34, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

• Support move to Natalia Kills - I assumed "Natalia Keery-Fisher" was her legal name .... Most sources more or less use "Teddy Sinclair (aka/formerly Natalia Kills)" so I'm inclined to go with this for now, She seems to be more known as Natalia than Teddy and given she could change her legal name again I feel we should use the most common name for now. –Davey2010^Talk 18:42, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

• Support, according to the interview, it's been her legal name since 2014, and while she's adopted a number of stage names, this is the only change of her legal name from the birth name of Cappuccini.-gadfium 01:44, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support, since the current title is not correct and her legal name is the most consistently used at this time. WikiRedactor (talk) 17:01, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose Teddy Sinclair, but support moving back to Natalia Kills per WP:COMMONNAME. She has yet to be commonly known as Teddy Sinclair. She has released numerous singles and albums under the name Natalia Kills and appeared on television using that name. Articles referring to her as Teddy also mention she was previously known as Natalia. I definitely agree that the article should be updated with her proper birth and legal name. She confirms her birth name to be Teddy Natalia Noemi Cappuccini. — Status (talk · contribs) 17:15, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
• Move to Natalia Kills as Google Trends data shows that "Natalia Kills" is much more commonly used than "Teddy Sinclair". feminist (talk) 15:54, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
• Comment Google is a poor guide here, because she stopped being called Natalia Kills some years ago. I'm not sure if she has ever had a WP:COMMONNAME.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:29, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support, per WP:COMMONNAME. I never heard of this person and knew nothing about her, so I browsed through the article and saw that she has appeared in several films and TV shows. I decided on the following test: Take the latest appearance, which turned out to be in an episode of X Factor New Zealand in 2015, and see what name IMDB uses to credit her. That turned out to be Teddy Sinclair [3]. Barring evidence to the contrary, which I don't see above, I think that's a strong indication of what her COMMONNAME is. --В²C ☎ 23:57, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
  • IMDB is not a reliable source. It is user editable. Anyone with any motive could have put that in like that. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:35, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose as proposed. A messy situation, an artist with a habit for name changes, but stronger evidence is needed. I looked at the three references used to support the notability-asserting statement of the lede, refs 5, 6, 7. These use "Natalia Keery-Fisher", "Natalia Cappuccini"/"Natalia Kills", "Natalia Kills?"/"Verbz"/"Verbalicious"/But now it’s "Kills"/real name:"Natalia Noemi Cappuccini". First name "Teddy" is completely unsupported by these, which would be astonishing. Support Natalia Cappuccini, Natalia Kills also acceptable I think. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:35, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Are you aware all three of those sources predate the 2015 name change? COMMONNAME is determined by what name she is best known by today, not in 2006, 2011 or 2013. IMDB is much harder to change than WP, and control is much tighter. —В²C ☎ 15:42, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support any move, but preferably to Teddy Sinclair. The current article title is a name she's never gone by, so a move to some other title is obviously necessary. Teddy Sinclair seems like it will be her common name going forward, and it seems to be the name she goes by now in the band Cruel Youth. – PointyOintment ❬‽ · ✍❭ 12:18, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
• Comment: There's the potential issue of sorting out the discography section. I don't consider this directly related to the decision of whether to move or where to move to, but some people might factor it in. Anyway, I suggest that can be organized like Maya Postepski's. – PointyOintment ❬‽ · ✍❭ 12:24, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
• Relisting note: ignoring WP:RMCLOSE because consensus is clearly that the current name is inadequate, the question is over what to replace it with. Giving it another week wouldn't hurt. SITH (talk) 00:37, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
• Support any move, clearly the current article title was a mistake. Four search hits when searching Google News for the current title, and I wouldn't be surprised if all of them were the result of Wikipedia! 255 search hits for "Teddy Sinclair". 3,950 hits for "Natalia Kills", but that isn't being offered and, as someone has mentioned, they are mostly earlier articles. Similar results with other searches. Jack N. Stock (talk) 04:01, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
• Support move to Teddy Sinclair per nom, the commonly used form of her legal name and the name she currently uses professionally. Not an ideal situation, but considering she is still active I see little logic in moving the article to a name she no longer goes by. "Natalia Cappuccini" does not appear to have any common usage, and while recent sources do tend to use "formerly known as..." or "aka Natalia Kills" few seem to refer to her by that name alone. PC78 (talk) 21:08, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

• Support move to Natalia Kills as that's the name she is commonly known by. CoronaryKea (talk) 09:07, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
• Relisting note: final relist, consensus so far appears to be split between whether to move as proposed or to Natalia Kills. SITH (talk) 09:32, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
• Support move to Natalia Kills. It is the name she achieved notoriety under.--Launchballer 10:58, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
• Support Teddy Sinclair per WP:NAMECHANGES, as reliable sources are using her new name. Iffy★Chat -- 14:47, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
• Support move to either Teddy Sinclair or Natalie Kills. I note that both are claimed above as the common name, and perhaps this deserves more discussion and evidence. I think that we should to some extent ignore all rules in this case, and specifically that NAMECHANGES should be discounted for a person so fond of changing their name... it's a way in which she promotes herself and we should neither meekly follow nor compromise reader experience to avoid following this lead. Or to put that another way, we should regard even reliable sources based on recent recordings etc as being somewhere midway in the spectrum of primary and secondary sources, and so give them less weight despite what NAMECHANGES says. Does that help decide? Discarding arguments above based on her official name and/or unreliable sources such as IMDB (or no argument at all) might also clarify things (but that's for the closer of course). And whatever we decide and for whatever reasons, it should be the last move of this article for at least ten and perhaps two hundred years. (;-> Andrewa (talk) 16:11, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Information and Name

Read article titled "Most Misunderstood: Teddy Sinclair Is Finally Free" in page https://www.papermag.com/teddy-sinclair-2623212398.html?rebelltitem=53#rebelltitem53 . She talks a lot about herself and also complains about the name Wikipedia presents. 193.242.214.5 (talk) 01:47, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

See the discussion above, which mentions this interview. She complained about the surname Wikipedia used in 2018, which was her mother's name. The interview clearly states '"Sinclair" is the legal surname of her husband Willy, which she adopted as her own from her maiden Cappuccini upon being married'.-gadfium 03:06, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Maxwell King123321: in this edit, you have removed the 2010 photo and said that it is "not her". Can you be clear on this, because it is effectively an unsourced edit. ♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 07:25, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
