Editing page from Tor to test non-anonymous editing from Tor.

There's nothing special about this talk page, it's just a handy sandbox.

Hi, thanks for your explanation about this page. I jumped to conclusions from seeing your username, but on further inspection, you're right: there was nothing done wrong here. I apologise for the warning template, and will remove the template on the article. Happy editing. Robofish (talk) 17:00, 1 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Timothy Caughman edit

 

The article Timothy Caughman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable enough for own article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. smileguy91talk - contribs 04:58, 26 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Reply on proposed deletion edit

It is common for victims of notable crimes to have their lives documented in an article under their own name, rather than under the heading of their killing. For example the lynching victims https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Smith_(lynching_victim) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Crawford_(lynching_victim).

This stands to reason because otherwise the killer defines the person's reputation in death. This extends the violence against that person. This is particularly important with regard to victims of racist crimes because dehumanization was an important factor in the assault.

I merged the articles to avoid duplication of information. The standard for such events/people is to have an article on the event, not the person. See WP:BIO1E and WP:VICTIM. If you disagree, you can open a discussion to move the article to a different title, but there is no need for two articles. More importantly, the article needs editing to improve the format and add more well-sourced info on the crime, victim, and perpetrator. Fences&Windows 16:27, 27 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

The easy part of these tasks is improving the writing. I will work on that first. After that I will see if I can make a convincing case to have the article be about the life rather than the death.
