I’m being serious — this is a really big case. Privileged murderer has somehow managed to skirt being identified for what she is? You’ll forgive me but I find this outrageous. Please help me find a link to an article explaining this or I’m going to lose respect for Wikipedia.
You know Wikipedia is written by users right? So you can write the article you want out there.
You’ve inspired me. Can you think of any reason why 13 people would slam that down vote button though?
I think anyone can make a Wikipedia page.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
So make one? That’s the benefit of Wikipedia.
FWIW, I’ve never heard of it or her. Is she famous or influential for something other than this case? Which I don’t say to minimize the deaths she caused, but because not every news article/criminal case/lawsuit/whatever rises to the level of interest to justify a Wikipedia page.
But seriously, Wikipedia is a community-driven network. “Losing respect for Wikipedia” would be like losing respect for Lemmy because other people weren’t writing posts you wanted to see.
Yours is another perspective that I needed to see. Thank you as far as losing respect for Wikipedia, I met that I believe there was a group of people discouraging that article from being written. Still not quite certain that there isn’t a group of people discouraging an article acting in the role of mods, for instance I believe that if I do some research, I can find similar cases that have the exact same amount of notoriety and yet there are pages. I may continue looking into this.
Pretty sure she would not meet the standard for notability. So you can write one, but it’ll almost certainly be deleted.
Where there are no appropriate existing articles, the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies:
For perpetrators,
The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities;[10] or The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual’s role.
I have been following this case since the murders were committed. She appears to have garnered a great deal of celebrity since then details of her own life show that she is well-connected wealthy person reading your post helps me to calm down a little bit about this because perhaps her notoriety does not reach the level that it might need to be, however, I am not the children’s parents I believe the family and children. She is quite notorious and deserves a page.
You know many criminals also enjoy the (negative) fame they get?
Yeah, well, Rebecca’s not the kind of person who would enjoy this.
I have author articles before now, and I have witnessed when articles get discouraged by groups of people. The sad part about me writing such an article at this point is that I need to wait until all of you forget this conversation completely because I have used my real name and my Wikipedia ID and now I’m in a real bind.
