Spring, Texas
Hello, Inamaka. How does this [1] violate BLP and RS? WhisperToMe (talk) 20:23, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- The manner in which the information is presented clearly violates BLP because there is only ONE citation and it does not support the allegations listed. However, after reviewing the other article is becomes clear that there are other articles out there to support the allegations. However, just because the allegations can be supported does NOT mean that the information is relevant or needed in an article about Spring, Texas. The information is NOT relevant or needed and as such it should remain out of the article. There is NO precedent to list, in great detail, all of the horrendous crimes committed over the many, many years of the existence of New York City in the article about New York City and there is NO reason to outline a series of crimes in Spring, Texas. The topic MIGHT appropriate for its own article (which apparently exists already) but it is NOT appropriate for the Spring, Texas article. It is not encyclopedic.--InaMaka (talk) 21:10, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, I see what you are saying. Not all of the points were supported by that one cite. But there is a main article, 2006 Harris County, Texas hate crime assault, which has a lot of citations that could be used.
- The only reason why BLP applies is because of Tuck and Turner. Those details are verifiable, so I am adding a cites. Ritcheson is dead, so BLP doesn't apply to him.
- You said: "There is NO precedent to list, in great detail, all of the horrendous crimes committed over the many, many years of the existence of New York City in the article about New York City and there is NO reason to outline a series of crimes in Spring, Texas." - Actually, Ritcheson testified in front of Congress regarding hate crimes. So, yeah, it's notable. Also remember that smaller communities have things of relative importance. A single crime may not be listed in New York City, but a crime that notably affected a town of 3,000 would make it there (provided there are references to prove the effect and/or significance)
