Name change
editIs there any interest in changing this article name to Adam Copeland, since he appears to be performing under that name now? Adam Copeland already redirects to this article so it may not be worthwhile. This is not my area of expertise but I thought I'd start the discussion-- MOS:NAME may be relevant here as well.

- not by my side. he has worked for 25 years as Edge, hall of fame, wrestlemania main event, several world titles, so its a pretty strong Commonname for just one week as Adam. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 15:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- wrestling wikipedia is far too trigger happy on name changing. he has used this name for over 25 years in wwe and isnt going to be in aew for very long as he plans to retire in a year or so. all that will happen is it will get changed back to edge again within a year, wasting everyone's time. even ten years in aew wouldnt be enough imo, he has the most combined titles wins in wwe history and is a hall of famer.Muur (talk) 21:24, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- He doesn't have the most combined titles in WWE History. That would be R-Truth with 53 24/7 title reigns and other title reigns. RyanConnell5150 (talk) 04:58, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

- Much too soon, no where near the WP:COMMONNAME — Czello (music) 21:55, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Glad to have the consensus, it sounds like this won't need to be revisited for several years.

- You all have the funniest idea of consensus on this website. 50.32.184.37 (talk) 07:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Name change
editAlthough it was too soon to change the name of the article to "Adam Copeland" back in 2023, I'd say he's more widely known as Adam Copeland at this point. I think the name should be changed to Adam Copeland Jtasp111 (talk) 01:24, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- He has worked as Edge for 20 years. He is a 12 times world champion, tag team champion, main evented wrestlemania and hall of famer. Edge its clearly the commonname, no way he is best known as Copeland because he worked for a few years under his real name.--HHH Pedrigree (talk) 05:33, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- I mean your username hardly makes you an impartial voice in the things HHH Pedrigree... Its interesting how much quicker WWE renames are done, that AEW renames, even when its the wrestlers real name. Dimspace (talk) 00:44, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
- changing wouldve looked silly now too since hes not even using it any more.Muur (talk) 23:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- He is an 11x world champion ~2026-28277-50 (talk) 23:32, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
Article review
editIt has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:
- Lots of uncited statements, including entire paragraphs.
- Unreliable sources used, including ringsidenews.com, Wrestlezone, and Cageside Seats.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 19:08, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Most probably. many GA have been reviewed and nobody fix the issues.HHH Pedrigree (talk) 19:38, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- @HHH Pedrigree: Would you like to nominate this to WP:GAR? I nominate lots of articles, so it helpful if new editors also post articles there. Z1720 (talk) 20:00, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- {{re|Z1720} I prefer to don't do it. Last time I GARed an article, I had backlash from other editors. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 07:37, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
Roots
editI've come across several claims that he had Jewish ancestry on his mother's side. Is this true? I haven't found any online sources on this. Solaire the knight (talk) 15:04, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
