Who was younger than her in the 1790s? Because
The Guardian already claimed
Louis Antoine de Saint-Just was younger than her in 1791, and that's clearly wrong. Unless anyone can find a name of a Revolution-era parliamentarian age 22 or younger, I don't think that's an accurate claim, even if it is in newspapers. -

Why isn't there any information about her own political views? It only refeers to the "politicals views of the party" whith no further informations. I think people have the right to know that the FN is a far-right party and has an historic of antisemitism, racism,...
It's from my point a view a dangerous party with dangerous ambition and even though it's only an opinion, i have the feeling this "article" was only wrote and reworked numerous times by own guys of the party.
Normalisation of violence is dangerous, she's from an far-right party and there's no mention about this.
My main language isn't english and i've no sufficient skills to rework this but this article has to be reworked, it's dangerous to let people think she's a normal person from a normal party. They are extremist and it needs to be write somewhere.The ex-leader of the party, before their efforts to seem like a normal and accepted party has said numerous times that the german invasion in 1940 was "not so bad" and the number of death jews where exagerated.

For two days she became a strawberry grower
What is the relevance of that? For two days she mucked in with real folk and did real work for a change. So what? Is it supposed to imply that she now knows what real work is like?? If so that is a ridiculous claim. It is on a par with Sarah Palin saying she understood foreign policy because she lived in Alaska and could see Russia from her window! If it isnt supposed to imply that.. what is the point of that statement??

Marion Maréchal-Le Pen →
Marion Maréchal – This is about Marion Marechal-Le Pen’s (MMLP) last name. Per French law and French naming customs, Ms Marechal-Le Pen can use either her father’s surname, ‘Marechal’, or a combo of said father’s name with her mother’s name, ‘Le Pen’, giving ‘Marechal-Le Pen’. She has been using that combo for about 8 years now.
Very recently Marechal-Le Pen has decided to drop the maternal moiety (LePen) from her own usual name.
In the reference linked here:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/25/marine-le-pens-niece-tipped-as-future-far-right-leader-drops-family-name
Marechal-Le Pen’s likely motivations for the move are discussed. IMHO, those are not relevant when it comes to decide how MMLP’s page should be named. (However some political opponents to MMLP may resent the change, because of a perceived advantage MMLP might derive from it.)
I suggest
Wikipedia:Article_titles#Name_changes recommendations are followed. Mainstream media in English and in French have quietly followed suite, and it is unlikely that Marion Marechal would change again overnight.

Panam2014 (
talk) 02:48, 27 May 2018 (UTC)reply
In response to Panam2014, who opposes the move, citing
WP:COMMONNAME: Well, if you google “Marion Maréchal-Le Pen”, filtering for results in English dated May 24 (the day after the change was announced) or later, you’ll find an overwhelming number of pages now calling MMLP ‘Marion Maréchal’. They are mostly reliable news items, announcing the name change, her previous name being mentioned, of course (those English sources may have conformed with French sources, which by and large immediately made the jump to the new name — under French laws they could be sued if they didn't). As a consequence, to follow
WP:COMMONNAME and also
Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(people)#Self-published_name_changes, the name should be changed to ‘Marion Maréchal’ without further delay. —

Wikipedia:Article_titles#Name_changes advises to give more weight to reliable sources published after the name change when deciding whether the article title should change.

Panam2014 (

@
Panam2014: I can think of two events in the future that might happen and justify the status quo: 1) MMLP might change her mind and switch back to the name she’s been using until last week (unlikely); 2) Medias might also change their mind and decide to challenge MMLP’s rights to a name and not follow the recent change (irresponsible, unlikely). But one shouldn’t care! because there is this rule
WP:CRYSTAL: anticipated events must be verifiable; one should not tailor the article to accomodate for potential future events, because… Wikipedia is not a crystal ball! One should rely on present actual facts, and sources. And they all tell us: at present the name is ‘Marion Maréchal’. --

Panam2014: 1) The sources are about MMLP, full point. What further the sources are about is irrelevant (her change of name, the new school she’s about to head, her role within FN, her absence at the party’s Convention, her chances in 2022, etc. Quite a few, BTW. You didn't see them?). 2) You read WP:CRYSTAL the other way round. I respectfully suggest you try again. --
Bernarddb (

Panam2014 (

Support - I agree it would have been better to give this a bit more time, but since we're here we should resolve it. Major news sources on the continent (
The Week,
The Times,
Ouest-France,
Le Progres) are covering the name change and her social media accounts reflect it as well, indicating her express preference. Redirect will be left in place, and the lead should make reference to her old name. --

Support When a subject's name changes (and it's clearly sourced) it's natural to update the article title at the time and not wait to shift at glacial pace.

To elaborate, it's fair to call editors interested in politics, but it would also be fair to call editors interested in motivations of name changes, editors interested in adoption, or editors interested in upholding Wikipedia conventions. Even if your chosen editors include a diversity of political points of view, that is still a group of hand-picked people, which may lead to bias in results, even unwittingly. —
JFGtalk 13:56, 28 May 2018 (UTC)reply
I have responded in detail in your talk page. Perhaps the character has several dimensions, but she is known primarily as a politician. For the rest, it is not because contributors are interested in one of the dimensions of the character, that it determines the title they will choose. Best regards. --

Support – It took me a while to decide on my position here. On the one hand, sudden name changes like
Chelsea Manning or
Dnipro are often controversial in the early days and become generally supported over time (both of those took about one year to settle). On the other hand, this person made a very public decision to only revert to her original name, which was “Marion Maréchal" since the day she was formally recognized by her legal father
Samuel Maréchal [
fr at age 2; she only added "Le Pen" to raise awareness of her public persona when she entered the
French regional elections, 2010, aged 20 (she had first ran for local office in 2008 as "Marion Maréchal"). Thus, it can be argued that her withdrawal from politics since 2017, added to her public request to be called only "Maréchal" from now on, form a strong-enough basis to acknowledge this change immediately. A number of sources already referred to her as "Marion Maréchal" even before she decided to drop "Le Pen". Naturally, the "Le Pen" name should remain mentioned prominently in the lead sentence of her bio. —
JFGtalk 11:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)reply
Oppose per the greater recognizability of the current title (with recognizability being one of the
naming criteria).
Dekimasuよ! 21:13, 1 June 2018 (UTC)reply
Support: Now, I'm not too happy about this change, but
JFG has convinced me that it should be done. Just, well, do feature "Le Pen" prominently, please. That was her public persona for a number of years, and must be acknowledged. —

Marion Maréchal – Time to uphold this person's name change per
WP:NAMECHANGES and
WP:SPNC. She returned to her birth name after having added "Le Pen" from 2010 to May 2018 for political exposure. Since then, French journalistic sources have largely covered her under the shorter name (most notably during the recent Gilets jaunes protests), and the French Wikipedia has made the switch. —
JFGtalk 06:46, 20 December 2018 (UTC)reply
Oppose for now. Support. The nom talks about French sources, but what about English?

I will look again in more detail later though. —
Amakuru (

A search for "yellow vests" and "Marion" yields a majority of results calling her only "Marion Maréchal".
[1] Selecting "yellow vests" ensures recent coverage only, in English, and selecting "Marion" avoid biasing the results towards one version of the name or the other. —
