The fact that she no longer possesses her name is not supported by the source material. While she is a former expert now recognized as the Archivist, this title doesn't replace her given name; it simply describes her current role. CharlotteSmoothie (talk) 13:09, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- The key thing is that she is currently exclusively known as the Archivist, as indicated in the solicitation for issue 3. I intend to request that the page be reverted to its original name, and I believe we should refrain from renaming it until the issue is released, allowing us to examine its contents. Lewisr ( talk ) 13:15, 2 February 2022 (UTC) The statement "I have a name, but most simply call me what I am—the Archivist." suggests that she still has her name, Madlin Sun, and that some individuals continue to use it. Therefore, similar to the clones, the real name should be the primary entry, not the assumed one. CharlotteSmoothie (talk) 13:17, 2 February 2022 (UTC) While it's possible she still has that name, it doesn't necessarily mean she's still using it, which appears to be the situation here. Lewisr (talk) 13:22, 2 February 2022 (UTC) Clones were never addressed by their numbers either. Additionally, her statement that many call her by her role doesn't imply it's her new name; it's merely her job title, which some use to refer to her, similar to how one might refer to "the queen" while her actual name is Elizabeth. CharlotteSmoothie (talk) 14:57, 2 February 2022 (UTC) Some clones were indeed referred to by their numbers, but that's an entirely different situation. I've previously provided a source indicating that she is now exclusively known as the Archivist. This matter is unlikely to be resolved within any in-universe source until issue 3 is released. Lewisr (talk) 15:01, 2 February 2022 (UTC) The primary source confirms that Maslin Sun remains her name, although some know her by her job description. Using "the Archivist" as the article's main entry violates Wookieepedia's naming conventions. CharlotteSmoothie (talk) 14:27, 8 February 2022 (UTC) The source explicitly states that she is 'now known only as THE ARCHIVIST.' We will await the issue's release to ascertain further details. Lewisr (talk) 14:29, 8 February 2022 (UTC) That's merely marketing and doesn't prove any name change. The primary source states, "I have a name, but most simply call me what I am—the Archivist." She retains her name, and some individuals still recognize her by it. CharlotteSmoothie (talk) 19:21, 8 February 2022 (UTC) How does the phrase 'now known only as' fail to prove anything? Furthermore, while she may acknowledge having had a name, it doesn't guarantee she still uses it. All current evidence suggests that Madelin Sun is a former name. Lewisr (talk) 19:43, 8 February 2022 (UTC) That's not the case at all. "Most" doesn't equate to "all," and some still know her name. She states, "I HAVE a name," not "had," indicating present tense. All in-universe primary sources clearly indicate that Madelin Sun remains her name. There's no evidence suggesting she changed it; it's simply a marketing blurb that contradicts the actual written in-universe story, where some still know her name, and she refers to her name in the present tense. CharlotteSmoothie (talk) 02:17, 15 February 2022 (UTC) I suggest we simply wait for the upcoming issue's release, as it may provide clarity on the matter. Lewisr (talk) 02:25, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- In Crimson Reign #5, Qi'ra addressed her by her former name in person, which should definitively resolve any uncertainty regarding her name. I will revert the change. CharlotteSmoothie ( talk ) 02:27, 30 June 2022 (UTC) I am unable to do so because the redirect prevents the move, requiring administrator intervention.
