After reading both threads, my understanding is that

The problem is not, given my reading, that she wants

It is fine if she does. But she certainly does not
want the other last
name in any combination to appear with her name.
That name is used, online, by - among others - VIAF, ISNI, BNF, Nukat,
Worldcat, the International Atomic Energy Agency and the award page
previously discussed.
I acted accordingly and removed the other last name.
As can be seen in Dr
Lemaire's papers, she has consistently used the name
"Marie-Claude Lemaire"
and there is no reason not to respect that request.
That is clearly not so. See, for example:
http://katalog.nukat.edu.pl/lib/item?id=chamo:3080157&theme=nukat#
I'm sympathetic to Dr Lemaire for whatever demons trouble her,
but bowdlerising Wikidata and thereby reducing its usefulness will not
resolve them.
