Requested move 23 May 2014

The request to rename this article to Caroline Polachek has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Ramona Lisa → Caroline Polachek – The current name, Ramona Lisa, is Carolina Polachek's musical alias and not her true birth name. The overall page about Caroline Polachek's musical career should be aptly titled with her real name, Caroline Polachek. A Caroline Polachek Wikipedia page does exist; however, it automatically reroutes to be the Ramona Lisa page when it should be the other way around. Ramona Lisa information should definitely be within Caroline Polachek's page but as a section or subsection rather than the title of the entire page.

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Oppose for now, per WP:STAGENAME. She adopted the pseudonym at the begining of her solo career, and it's the name under which her album was released. So, she is listed as Ramona Lisa at iTunes, AllMusic, Spotify, etc. We might consider renaming the article if, for example, she releases her next record as Caroline Polachek. — Mayast (talk) 17:17, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose there are numerous artists that are listed under their stage name, Lady Gaga, Madonna (entertainer), Snoop Dogg, LL Cool J, 50 Cent, Eminem, and many more. Wikipedia does not take the position than birth names take precedence over common names. If she later uses her birth name professionally we can change it then.--70.49.80.26 (talk) 22:05, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
