message: Real birth name of an actress should not be added —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.70.251.90 (talk • contribs) .
: This has been discussed many times before -- as long as the birth names come from verifiable sources and are not the result of original research, then the information stays.  -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 19:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: *Well there is precedent for removing it... I don't have a chance to check right now, but how important is the Syracuse reference to Vanessa's article (as opposed to Lex's)? Tabercil 14:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *It looks like it is the only reference on the article, but it is only being used as a reference for her name. She gave me some other information and references that I plan to use to reinforce the article. Also, I advised her to contact the newspaper publisher to request that they redact her name from their online version because of the stalking problem - if they have any humanity hopefully they will do so. But I'm thinking that perhaps we should remove it regardless of what they do, as I don't believe our articles should cause people problems in real life.

replies: text: * I gather you two are leaning towards removal; the article doesn't really hinge on the presence of the name, and she's not Charles Manson. But I don't want to put down anything that says that that Daily Orange article isn't a good source, since it's an absolutely excellent source for Lexington Steele, it's not just his name, it's his whole life. I think the "any humanity" thing should be what we're mostly considering. Do we have humanity? Not too much :-), but I think we do have some. And there is a stronger case here, since the Daily Orange article is about Lexington Steele, and only mentions Vanessa Blue in passing. The name is not that important to their article, and their article isn't that important to our article, and the article subject is complaining, we don't want to annoy people unnecessarily. But I see Talk:Vanessa Blue has a comment about the name issue from none other than User:Joe Beaudoin Jr., the first administrator "from" WP:P*. I respect him highly; but it is from a year and a half ago. He's been more active just recently, let's drop him a note, see if he has changed his mind from back then. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 15:01, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *I'll have to lean towards removal as well. The issue is Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy; mainly presumption in favor of privacy, since Blue isn't really as famous as, say, Jenna Jameson. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 17:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

text: If the subject makes a reasonable request for privacy, especially in an industry in which the use of pseudonyms is the norm, I think we should respect it. I just can't get over the fact that YOU GOT AN E-MAIL MESSAGE FROM VANESSA BLUE!  — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 03:03, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Real name, redux 

message: I added the real name since 1) it is in two adult industry sites (adultbizlaw.com and xbiz.com), 2) it is a matter of public record given the federal lawsuits and their settlement.--BumbaBaby (talk) 04:08, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: At this point, I'm going to say the wishes of the subject of the article should still have some say in what occurs. Since she's wishing some privacy on that count, I'm going to say we should respect that. Tabercil (talk) 01:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

text: While I respect the removal of the real name (and agree with it on some levels), it should be noted that this information is not difficult to find. Her real name is posted on a popular industry news website concerning the details of her lawsuit with Lexington Steele (see references in article). BumbaBaby (talk) 23:14, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Real name, thrice 

message: Which one of the several sites that carry her name is her "official" site? The article lists vanessablue.com, but there also seems to be clubvanessablue.com, and femdomx.com as mentioned in the external links; are some of them just a collection of pictures and a domain name, indeed are any of them official? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:26, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The one that indicates that it's official, which is the one listed in the article.  Xihr  04:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
