Spelling of name

edit

I think the official spelling of her name is "Vicki Lynn DeBlieux". Perhaps the article should be renamed to "Murder of Vicki DeBlieux" (spelled exactly like that)? Al.com lists her name as "Vicki Lynn DeBlieux": [1] which is the most likely reliable source for information related to Alabama. Find a Grave also has her name as "Vicki Lynn DeBlieux" and YES I know Find a Grave isn't a reliable source but in this case, there appears to be an actual photo of her grave, and the spelling on the actual gravestone is "Vicki Lynn DeBlieux".

So…how about we just move the article to a new title?? NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 11:41, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Or we just leave it as it is and respell her surname again? I noticed it’s DeBlieux all over the article NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 11:42, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@NelsonLee20042020: I would say "Murder of Vicki DeBlieux" spelt exactly like that, seems to be the official spelling based on the al.com source: [2] which is likely going to be the most accurate and factual for cases in Alabama. Also, the official grave photo from Find a Grave spells it like that on her actual gravestone. So I would rename it to that, but as you are the article creator I am happy to let you decide if you'd prefer to keep it as it is. Inexpiable (talk) 12:46, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Maybe a note could be left next to her name saying: some sources spelt her name as Vickie Deblieux, like the Corey Johnson (murderer) article? Inexpiable (talk) 12:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
sure no problem NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 12:50, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Understand. I would like to point out that most sources just spelt "Vickie Deblieux" so i just follow what most sources would address the victim as. NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 12:50, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
