[edit] Requested move

Wilma Blasini Perez → Uma Blasini — As per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names), I request that page be moved to Uma Blasini, as Uma Blasini is the name most commonly used for this person (her professional and stage name and the name she used in the pageant). I belive that this page move would clear up edit wars regarding this subject (see Zuleyka Rivera) -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 01:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

BOTH times she compited at the Miss Puerto Rico Universe she did so under the name of UMA. Doing a simple google search documents this. BOTH times, as Miss San Juan in 2005 and as Miss Guayanilla in 2007 she compited under the name Uma. When she won she was immediately introduced as Uma and the cover the three major Puertorican newspapers listed her name as UMA. To dissipate any doubts, Miss PR director, Magaly Febles. formally annouced that Uma will participate at the Miss Universe under that name.

It is well documented that BOTH TIMES Uma participated in the Miss Puerto Rico Universe, she did so under the name of UMA. Like I previously mentioned, if wikipedia needs to refer to Uma by her birthname that is not Wilma, it would be Wilmadilis. If wikipedia needs to refer to Uma by the name that she's mostly known at that is definitely and very easy to document, UMA.

I disagree with the move. Major Puerto Rican periodicals such as Vea, Imagen, and El Nuevo Dia all list her name as Wilma. Any alias should be added to her article, however the name should stay as is. I will provide links to articles validating my statements shortly.--XLR8TION 15:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Three of those "articles" that you cite are from sources specialized in covering sports such as volleyball and it is clear that that's how she was known as a professional volleybal player. Two of those "articles" are simply messages posted at the Univision.com message board page. All of the following articles (being the first one an article published TODAY at the Vocero newspaper) list her as Uma. The second article contains the video of her crowning and you can clearly see that they called her UMA BLASINI:
