Killing of Laken Riley

Why did you remove that the suspect entered the US illegally? FMSky (talk) 19:23, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you read my edit summary, it's because that information is introduced in the next paragraph and then extensively rehashed throughout the article. It's a readability thing, not a whitewashing thing. Thesixthstaff (talk) 19:24, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, him entering the country illegally wasnt mentioned in the lead at all --FMSky (talk) 19:25, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do legal immigrants get "caught crossing the border"? I will add "illegally" to that sentence, then. That should resolve the issue. Thesixthstaff (talk) 19:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Questions about potential article

I remember that you helped with BLP and NPOV concerns regarding the killing of Laken Riley, so I wanted to ask for your thoughts on a potential article.

The Killing of Ruby Garcia has been given some pretty significant coverage in the media, including the Associated Press [1], Axios [2], Politico[3], The Washington Post[4] and others. Seeing this, it may meet notability requirements, but I'm unsure about creating another article about someone being killed based only on being notable due to political debates by popular politicians. Any thoughts on this? Would creating an article be appropriate? WMrapids (talk) 13:44, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, that’s a good question. I’ll look into it more and get back to you. I’m leaning toward no at the moment because it seems like the murder itself hasn’t gotten a lot of coverage - it’s mostly centered around Trump mentioning it, to the point where I’m not really seeing any details about the crime itself, or even real discussion about it. The Laken Riley case is notable largely because it spawned legislation, in my opinion. We should keep an eye on it and if it continues to get coverage beyond “it was mentioned at a rally” revisit it getting its own article. Thesixthstaff (talk) 14:12, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
