I will say that normally I am in favor of articles related to tragic events like this being more focused on the victims instead of the perpetrator, however, in this case I think the perpetrator is unfortunately more notable than just the family murders. For two main reasons I believe this page should be merged into the Gonzalo Lopez article: Lopez received coverage for a separate murder in 2005 back in '05 and '06 (sources:[1], [2]), and also, the fact he escaped from prison custody in May 2022, which in itself gained international attention and was described as unusual, which is what makes this case more notable than just a family massacre (sources: [3]). Both these events occurred prior to the family murders. The family murders, while tragic, is really just WP:ONEEVENT. Whereas the 2005 murder, the prison escape, the family murders, and the death of the perpetrator is multiple events: all related to the perpetrator. Inexpiable (talk) 15:03, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Sound reasoning. -- Mooonswimmer 00:44, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think a merge is reasonable, at least for now, since neither article is too long. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:19, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. The worthless piece of human excrement who killed this family deserves no mention at all, especially in the same article with them. 72.215.40.115 (talk) 14:44, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED. --Pokelova (talk) 23:51, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge into the Lopez article sadly just another tragedy in a long line committed by this depraved narco terrorist --LaserLegs (talk) 23:20, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The Collins murders are already covered adequately in the perp's article. WWGB (talk) 02:54, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support per original nomination and WP:ONEEVENT which the escape and subsequent manhunt/murders would fall under. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 19:26, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MERGED to Gonzalo Lopez following strong consesnsus. WWGB (talk) 05:08, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
