Talk:Murder of Frank Morris

Naming?

Disambiguating with lynch victim seems so..unnatural and strange to me. I'm not entirely sure what protocol is here either but maybe we can discuss it? Praxidicae (talk) 14:18, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

• I thought that when approving it, but couldn't think of a suitable alternative. ^{[Username Needed]} 15:21, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Frank Morris (lynch victim) → Murder of Frank Morris – Very little notable biographical material, 95% of the article is about the crime and investigations rather than the person. He was known to have died as a result of arson. "Lynching of" would be more specific but the motivation for the crime has not been proven. "Homicide of" might be more technically correct as no charges/conviction. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:47, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

• Support as much of the information in the article is about the investigations, which are related to his murder but not so much himself. An alternative would be Death of Frank Morris. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 19:37, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

The article section “Life” should be renamed “Background”. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 19:38, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

• Support per nom. I think "lynching" would normally be reserved for when there is a larger group of assailants. To me, "killing" or "death" would also be fine, although this case seems exceptionally clear as murder. —BarrelProof (talk) 00:43, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
• Support. If someone's parenthetical disambiguator, which is supposed to be what they're most known for, is being a victim, the title should clearly be on the crime. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:02, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Category

This article is in Category:Killings by law enforcement officers in the United States. Is that really appropriate? If I understand correctly, that is an allegation that has not been proven. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
