> Yet, they keep every other name on wikipedia

Nope. When it's an unknown transgender person who died for being themselves, perhaps it's stupid to put the older name there. World renown Ellen Page is deadnamed right there at the top. Because they were known for decades worldwide under that name.

Why stupid? I mean... what do we gain by removing that info? Isn't more info better?

Melanija Knavs was not known under that name, and it's still there.
