Married name and BLP issues

edit

I'm cross-posting my comment here from the Biographies of living persons noticeboard.

I'm quite concerned about this article. A year ago an editor added "Mark Blampied" as the husband's name to the infobox with the summary "Updated information" but provided no reference whatsoever to verify that they had married. With the next edit, the same editor moved the article from Katie Ritchie to Katie Blampied [1]. I cannot find a single source to verify that she was ever married to this person in the first place. But even if this were the case, she is always referred to in reports of sporting events as "Katie Ritchie". The only references to her as "Katie Blampied" are Wikipedia mirror sites. If I were the article's subject, I'd want to change the article too. Personally, I think the article should be moved back to the original name, and the information about her husband should be removed if we have no reliable sources to verify that they are married.
