Lead section is too long and detailed

[edit]

Lead section is too long and detailed. It should be a summary with details in the body of the article. The lead should introduce and summarize an article for readers, so put the reader first and tell the important facts about these deaths, first. Keep the first sentence but the rest is too much detail. Also MOS:LEADLENGTH, suggests only one or two paragraphs for articles of up to 15,000 characters of READABLE prose. i.e. The readable text in the body of the article. At the moment, this article is only half that size limit. See MOS:LEAD. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 21:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Name article for the crime, not the police investigation

[edit]

I know the Portuguese Wikipedia article is called "Caso Pesseghini" but that does not mean the English Wikipedia article needs to bear the same name. The English Wikipedia has several criteria for an article's title. While the naming convention about anglicizing foreign names advises to use English, it does not say the title needs to be a direct translation of the foreign language Wikipedia article. Different Wikipedia versions have different naming conventions. On the English Wikipedia, the convention is to write about the crime as an event. To be consistent with other articles about people being killed in a criminal act, I think this article should have a name like "Killing of the Pesseghini family", rather than calling it a "case" because this implies the article is primarily about the police investigation into the deaths, not about the deaths themselves. This also goes to the causality of the investigation into these deaths by police. While the handling of the investigation can make the deaths notable, the investigation only exists because the deaths occurred. The subsequent events are a lasting effect of the causative event. Also, Wikipedia does not give legal opinions, nor does it practice law and using the word "case" might be seen to carry an implication that the article is being written about a legal case or judicial decision. While Wikipedia might have such articles, there is a naming convention for them which does not use the word "case". - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:04, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
