The subject of this article has announced that she identifies as female and has changed her given name to Lilah. It is WP policy to respect these changes. The key guidelines are that female pronouns be used throughout the article, and that for the most part her old given name be avoided. Since it's WP style to refer to people mainly by their last name, that shouldn't be difficult. However, for identification purposes, since she was widely credited and is commonly known by her old name, that information needs to be included in the lede (much like we would do with someone who changes their name due to marriage or divorce after becoming notable). It's also standard procedure to rename the article to the subject's new name (with a redirect from the old name), again: like any other name change. There is no policy about changing references to her old name in other articles... if done, it should be in a way that doesn't confuse the reader about why (for example) the name on the book doesn't match the name given in the article. - Jason A.

In the case of transgender and non-binary people, birth names should be included in the lead sentence only when the person was notable under that name.There is no need to use Sturges' birth name anywhere but the lead, but it should definitely appear in the lead due to the aforementioned prior notability. I'll accept a maximum of twice (specifically lead sentence and infobox), but no more. stwalkerster ( talk) 22:54, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
