Murder case involving highest admin edit

On April 22, 2009 the leading administrator and spokesperson for the Bokmål Wikipedia was arrested having turned himself in to the police for having murdered his own mother.[1] Although no commentary may exist on how this may have impacted the work of that Wikipedia or public perception thereof, I am inclined to assert that this fact should still be mentioned in this article. If the leading figure of any other organization which has a Wikipedia article was the subject of a similar scandal, I believe that organization's article would at least mention the fact. __meco (talk) 08:32, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I forgot I had brought this up here at the time, so I went ahead and added a brief mention about it into the article, however, this was promptly removed by another user[2] citing "While interesting in some respects, this is trivial to this article.." I think it still should at least be mentioned in the modest fashion that I attempted. __meco (talk) 00:01, 11 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
