[edit] Article Name

VP's actual name is Jodie Rivera, which she has not disclosed in her videos, but which she has used in press and recording. Especially since she is now slated to appear in a television series, under her actual name, propose move to Jodie Rivera, making "VenetianPrincess" a redirect to there. 71.127.7.184 (talk) 14:49, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Per the manual of style, we should use the common name. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of her real name

I see that some users don't want her personal name used in the article. While the relevant policy says "When the name of a private individual has not been widely disseminated or has been intentionally concealed (such as in certain court cases), it is often preferable to omit it, especially when doing so does not result in a significant loss of context", I have a hard time justifying the removal of her name when it is readily published in newspapers and other sources. Plus, if she is using it in press releases to drum up publicity, it is harder to argue that it should thus be removed from her article. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I removed it because I was contacted by her as she asked me to remove it. Jodie Rivera is not her actual name, however she is mostly known by the alias "VenetianPrincess" so I deemed that the most appropriate title for the article. -- Journalist23 (talk) 10:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree with that. If her name was a secret, it would be a different case altogether but it is not. Anyone using Google can find it in no time, so I'm afraid I fail to see any reason not to include it here. Yes, she is more known as Venetian Princess but virtually every article on somebody known under an alias include their real name. If there's any reason why that standard procedure should not be followed here, I'd like to see it outlined. I'll wait untill tomorrow for comments, then add the name.

Sorry, changing my mind here. I just found that she has even released a cd under her own name [1], which definitely is enough to make it clear that here name is not a secret nor even intended to be. I'm adding the name to the article now, and would hope to see it stay unless a very good reason is put forward to have it removed. Cheers JdeJ (talk) 22:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

-- Her legal name is Jodie-Amy, not Jodie. I was doing nothing but contributing accurate information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.100.227 (talk) 20:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
