Murder of Alexandra Măceșanu → Kidnapping of Alexandra Măceșanu – Calling it a "murder" is presumptuous. As mentioned in the article itself: "an official report regarding the DNA results has still not been issued, and there is no official declaration of the girl's death" ContributorSIG (talk) 20:31, 28 August 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 15:00, 20 September 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 14:04, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Even though the human remains haven't been verified to be her, the English sources describe it as a murder. Is there doubt in Romanian media that she is dead? – Thjarkur (talk) 00:46, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – If the DNA is not confirmed, isn't it will be better with the title Disappearance of Alexandra Măceșanu since the remains found is not confirmed to be the said person despite confession by the arrested suspect that he kill a person named Alexandra Măceșanu? But honestly I will wait until the official DNA result is released. Night Lantern^halo? 12:26, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please read my last edit. Also, I don't agree with using the word "disappearance" in the title - Alexandra clearly described her situation as a kidnapping in her calls to 112. ContributorSIG (talk) 12:55, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support, if there is legitimate doubt that she is dead like the last edits show then the proposed title is a fine one. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:13, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, let's not forget the other victim, Luiza - Romanian Wikipedia mentions both of them in the article title. 2A02:AB88:36BA:7000:0:0:0:1 (talk) 17:34, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cover up

@XTheBedrockX: The authorities acted according to their attributions, but to the Romanian public it seemed they acted very ineptly. But this is more a matter of public image than of reality. I don't understand why it would be a cover up. tgeorgescu (talk) 04:32, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. Maybe. I'll remove the tag for now. Probably better to hold off unless something concretely stating this to be the case turns up. XTheBedrockX (talk) 05:45, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@XTheBedrockX: To say it as it is: the claim that it would be a cover up is a conspiracy theory. Very popular in Romania, but still a conspiracy theory. tgeorgescu (talk) 07:41, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
