Here's a first stab at trying to describe this intricate case.

Thanks to Aarktica for wikification! Please note that the citation tags can be replaced by appropriate ref footnoting to the cited sources. HG | Talk 15:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Took out the nonsense about a murder-suicide in Sep 2005. Two of the articles in the references section are from 2007 and make reference to her being alive at the time of writing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.54.235.237 (talk) 20:12, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A review of several articles found via Google indicates an error in Wikipedia: "The Stricklands (who had legally adopted Poutre)". One of the articles says the adoptive mother was unmarried at the time of adoption and the man later married her and became the girl's stepfather. He never adopted the girl. I hope an experienced fan of Wikipedia will execute the correction for me. Reg Niles (talk) 18:18, 17 February 2008 (UTC)Reg Niles[reply]

What happened to Holli Strickland?

The article indicates that her husband was tried, despite not being considered the primary abuser. However it is quiet on the consequences to the 'primary abuser'.

Could someone add what happened to her?

Undo move to title Haleigh Poutre case

I have just undone a move by Pages777 to the title Haleigh Poutre case for the following reasons.

This article is written as a biography of a living person, so the generally accepted Common Name title for such articles is the person's name. In this case it is Haleigh Poutre. That title is also concise and precise.
The justification for the move was "Legal case", however why that justifies the move away from the existing common name was not explained here.
Also, if this article were to be an article about a "Legal case" then is should be named according to the Manual of Style guidelines for legal cases, which it is not.
Additionally, Wikipedia has naming conventions for events concerning crimes of violence which leads to a title constructed like "Crime of Victim's name". However, this is only applicable where the Common Name title would only apply if the article is about the criminal event and is not applicable if the article is the person's biography.
In the article I can count at least 3 separate cases concerning this person, that means the One Event notability guidelines do not apply. While there is a dominant event, this is not the only event that is notable.
While victims of crime are usually only notable for the criminal event, in this case the subject is notable not only for her mistreatment at the hands of her parents but also for the mistreatment of her case by the agency subsequently responsible for her care, its haste to remove life support, as well as her unanticipated recovery in hospital from the trauma she had previously sustained.
Lastly, this article's title has been stable since its creation in 2007, so it should not be changed without a very good reason, which should be discussed, first. See WP:TITLECHANGES.

If you disagree with this reversion, please discuss your reasoning here, before moving the article again. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 03:19, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=Crime+of&namespace=0 shows no cases of "Crime of Victim's name". I agree with the revert in this case.--Pages777 (talk) 06:51, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, now I see what you mean. "Murder of", "Rape of" etc.--Pages777 (talk) 07:13, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
