SOTO is right that the first name is not used in the references I've seen. Chances are it was never mentioned (or it could have been: such small references often go unrecorded). However, it is absolutely clear which character is meant. In a similar prior case, the first name of a real-world reference was used as the best way of disambiguating, despite not being mentioned in the DWU. While strictly speaking, it is not necessary to disambiguate Marple at the moment, I added the first name as future proofing. Amorkuz 22:57, August 13, 2016 (UTC)

UPD: I was not able to find the mention of "Jane" in TV stories mentioned on the page. Amorkuz 21:57, August 14, 2016 (UTC)
I don't see any need for a rename. This is not a character in the DWU, this is a fictional character in the DWU. Shambala108 13:44, August 15, 2016 (UTC)
