using the Juno example, it seems imdb handles this better than MB does
while imdb does list Elliot Page’s deadname on the juno cast page, it doesn’t feel like deadnaming
the soundtrack cd release page on MB, on the other hand, only lists Elliot’s deadname (unless you hover, but that doesn’t count)
this happens despite the fact that editors have added end dates to the aliases for his deadname, and marked them as no longer current
that feels like deadnaming
the only way to get an imdb style listing with the current MB data model would be putting “name (as deadname)” in the “Artist as credited:” field, which doesn’t feel like a real soultion. at that point i’d rather just blank out “as credited” entirely
