Why should a list about people who have been murdered qualify for a Biography of Living Person warning? edit

Why does this list about instances of people who have been murdered need to have a warning message that talks about being a Biography of a Living Person? Surely it would be better to have a BLPO warning message instead? After all, what results in people being on this list is that they are the victims of unsolved murders. That makes them dead people, due to the murder event, so while the policy about people notable for a single event could be applied, we are writing about instances of crime, not biographies of people. The fact that people are discussed in the article is a necessary consequence of the murders. But to say they are living people is counter-intuitive. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 10:28, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

The victims are dead, but other persons involved in the cases may still be alive. The murders are still relatively recent. Dimadick (talk) 20:01, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Should this not say -List of unsolved murders (in the USA) (1980–2000)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by House Tules (talkcontribs) 14:00, 5 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Brown and Goldman edit

Brown and Goldman appear in the 1994 article on "unsolved murders". user:Aquillion says that sources don't generally describe it as unsolved, but more generally, lists like this aren't generally linked as a see-also; this isn't an emblematic "unsolved murder" that would justify it as a core connected topic. In particular, "unsolved" appears nowhere in the article body. All else aside, this isn't a great see-also because it isn't central to the topic - we would need significant amounts of coverage describing it first and formost as an unsolved murder (with no qualifiers), and a significant amount of the body discussing how it's unsolved, before a generic list like this would make sense as a see-also. And it's just unlikely that that sort of coverage exists or would be WP:DUE. 2.100.74.138 (talk) 22:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
