Proper usage of MOS:SURNAME

Per MOS:SURNAME:

When a majority of reliable secondary sources refer to persons by a pseudonym, they should be subsequently referred to by their pseudonymous surnames, unless they do not include a recognizable surname in the pseudonym (e.g. Sting, Snoop Dogg, the Edge), in which case the whole pseudonym is used.

For people well known by one-word names, nicknames, or pseudonyms, but who often also use their legal names professionally – e.g., André Benjamin ("André 3000"), Jennifer Lopez ("J.Lo"); doctor/broadcaster Drew Pinsky ("Dr. Drew") – use the legal surname.

If they use their mononym or pseudonym exclusively, then use that name (e.g. Aaliyah, Selena, and Usher).

As per the sources and usage, looks like scenario #3 is the most applicable here. I have decided to WP:BEBOLD and make the change and refer to him as "Alexyz" in the article. SerChevalerie (talk) 07:00, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
