Since "Sinéad O'Connor" continues to be the name by which she's best known, it makes sense for it to be the title of the page and the name by which she's called throughout the article. However, most Wikipedia articles about people who are best known by something other than their legal name still refer to them by their legal name on first reference. In this case, that would look something like "Shuhada' Sadaqat, more commonly known as Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor, was..."
In fact, looking at the talk page archives, it looks like this page at one point DID refer to her as Shuhada' Sadaqat on first reference. Is there a good reason this changed? I looked up the Wikipedia policies I could find on biographies and naming conventions, and they all seem to support using "Shuhada' Sadaqat" in the first sentence of the article. At the very least, it seems bad that right now this name isn't mentioned until the very end of the third paragraph. Skathelen (talk) 14:14, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have boldly updated this. I think the article perhaps still needs some consideration. She was unquestionably best known as "Sinéad O'Connor", but her preferred/legal name should perhaps be used more throughout. The Cat Stevens article is at "Cat Stevens", but refers to him as "Yusuf Islam" throughout. McPhail (talk) 10:04, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In this sentence:
"On 9 January 2024, it was announced that a tribute concert for O'Connor and Shane MacGowan from The Pogues who also passed away in 2023 would take place on 22 March in Carnegie Hall in New York City."
"22 March" should be changed to "20 March".
Source: both linked sources have 20th as the date. I have also been to the show, so can definitely confirm that it happened on the 20th. 173.52.60.179 (talk) 17:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
