The result of the move request was: page moved. None of the cited sources use her married name. Page was moved without discussion by User:Sideways713 at 18:27, 9 June 2016 and without citing any sources to verify the name change. – wbm1058 (talk) 17:14, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Madeline Hills → Madeline Heiner – The subject has reverted to her maiden name. See [1] Emajaygee (talk) 01:02, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 22:09, 23 December 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 05:03, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Since this hasn't been done for almost 24 hours, I'd say it needs a full discussion. What is the COMMONNAME here? (t · c) buidhe 21:31, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support per WP:NAMECHANGES. In any case, the name "Madeline Heiner" appears to be reasonably common whether before or after the Illawarra Mercury article linked by the OP. feminist (talk) 03:27, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Relisting comment: The source cited above is possibly a primary source and is in any case behind a paywall. I get roughly the same number of ghits for each name, and as she was previously known by her maiden name this indicates to me that the name change may not have been widely adopted as yet. In terms of WP:NAMECHANGES as (rightly) cited above, we need to go with the name that recent secondary sources are most often using. Andrewa (talk) 05:09, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
