The provided text outlines the scope and exclusions for a Wikipedia list of stage names used by individuals in the entertainment industry. It specifies that the list is alphabetized by the surname of the stage name, followed by the birth name. The document clarifies that legal name changes to stage names are included. It also provides important distinctions, noting that cultural naming customs, such as patronymics in Iceland, do not constitute stage names. Furthermore, the text enumerates several categories of individuals and name changes that are explicitly excluded from the list. These exclusions include those with multiple family names, performers using names for characters or alter egos, aliases not intended for public identification, names changed due to marriage or adoption before entering the industry, nicknames used both privately and professionally, and changes for gender identity or religious reasons. The structure of the list itself is presented as alphabetical sections, from 'A' to 'Z', with additional categories for 'The/Tha' and 'Other' names containing non-alphabetic characters.
