@ Flyer22 Reborn: I get that you wanted to get another word in, but reverting a perfectly fine and sourced edit is becoming disruptive editing. You could have left a message on my Talk, or the article's talk instead. It is also bordering on edit warring; are you aware that with that you reverted me 3 times collectively? WP:3RR
And you edited it three times in succession [1]- [2]- [3] just having a monologue with yourself on the Edit summaries. This is the first time I have seen this on Wikipedia.
You've stated the article sourced is likely "assuming" her name? It's an interview article, and she has "Samantha Giancola" listed on her own Twitter [4]. That is her confirming clear as day her name is Samantha, but you have a personal hang-up about this. Since you're disputing it, perhaps an RFC is the best option. Because you're rejecting WP:SELFPUB and disputed a cited source which is an interview with the subject, not a third-party article where authors often make faulty assumptions about celebrity backgrounds.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Is it reliable to assume that the subjects name is Samantha Giancola? Sources are an interview article where it says it is in its introduction, as well as the Twitter username of the person herself. I believe this is sufficient that the facts are not dubious. DA1 ( talk) 22:12, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
EDIT: The RFC is not to change the title, but merely to include her birth name to lead and infobox as is conventional on articles alongside one's professional or stage name. DA1 ( talk) 21:23, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
TheDragonFire, regarding your close, I made no "truth" claims. I am well aware of how Wikipedia works and of the Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth essay (which is not a policy or guideline). See what I argued above. This all started because an editor was adding unsourced material and edit warring over it. The Twitter source and an interview source came after that. Although I questioned if "Samantha" is her birth name because the two sources the editor provided during the dispute do not state that "Samantha" is her birth name, and I wondered if the interview source was just assuming that her birth name is "Samantha," I did not state that any of the reliable sources are wrong. I think you should amend the statement in your close. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 14:17, 28 December 2018 (UTC) Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 14:22, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
This Vanity Fair source provided by Isaidnoway above actually states that "Samantha" is her birth name. That, TheDragonFire, is what the WP:Verifiability policy is about. Not assumptions. Flyer22 Reborn ( talk) 14:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
