Reinstatement of WikiProject Crime banner

[edit]

The WikiProject Crime banner was removed by an anonymous editor with the comment that "Not yet known if it is a crime". However, doing so deprived the Crime WikiProject of oversight of an article that is clearly crime-related. I have reinstated the WikiProject Crime banner because this article includes commentary that a person had been arrested and criminal charges had been laid. Clearly, the Police believe it is more probable than not that a crime has been committed and that they have enough evidence to hold a particular person to account for what happened. Whether or not this is proven at trial to be beyond reasonable doubt remains to be seen. The fact that an allegation of a crime has been made is sufficient for an article to be of interest to WikiProject Crime. WikiProject Crime is about improving the quality of crime-related articles, not just proven crimes. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 10:34, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive detail of trial

[edit]

Really seems far more than would be encyclopaedic, esp in this article. Springnuts (talk) 16:27, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree. I have tagged the section as undue; if other editors wish to condense the information, please go ahead. GnocchiFan (talk) 13:18, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Were you suggesting there might be a different article, in which the coverage would be justified? With 22 separate charges, the trial has had to cover a lot of ground. It's already taken over nine months. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 13:02, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should we merge this with Lucy Letby? PatGallacher (talk) 13:52, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like the best thing to do, as a lot of the information in the trial should be moved to there (was added before Lucy Letby has a wikipedia article). Now that she has one, it makes sense to move the information there. --87.114.4.172 (talk) 14:07, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge. It is pointless having two articles on the same subject. Dormskirk (talk) 14:36, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have transferred some material on the initial investigation to the article on Lucy Letby. There is now no information in this article that is not in the Lucy Letby article. I propose that this article is replaced by a redirect to the Lucy Letby article. Dormskirk (talk) 14:53, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree per my WP:1E comment below and per the merge discussion there. -- DeFacto (talk). 15:00, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I support the merge too, but this should be the main article per WP:1E. -- DeFacto (talk). 14:55, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have merged the two articles. I am happy for the merged article to be moved here per WP:1E if others agree. Dormskirk (talk) 14:59, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Hummingbird

[edit]

The investigation is known as "Operation Hummingbird". Can this be mentioned in the article? 87.114.4.172 (talk) 14:07, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
