Currently, WP:NOTMEMORIAL states that "Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet [the requirements at WP:BLP]". Many, including myself, have interpreted this as prohibiting lists of victims in the articles of tragedies. However, many others disagreed, and in June 2016 there was a discussion as to whether to add such a list to 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. In the closing statement, it was suggested that while there is a precedent to include such lists, such precedent may conflict with NOTMEMORIAL, and a separate RfC should be held about the general interpretation of the NOTMEMORIAL and to determine whether or not a list of victims violates the policy. Indeed, local consensus for 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting was "to allow the list untill it is either removed to a separate article or a higher level consensus abolishes the use of such lists acrosss wikipedia" [sic]. The full closing statement by Maunus is below for reference:
Should the categories Ashkenazi Jews, German people of Jewish descent, Jewish atheists, Jewish philosophers, Jewish socialists, Jewish sociologists be added to this article? RolandR (talk) 11:08, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
Should the following be in the article? Please state Include/Exclude (+modifications for Include if you think some are required): In 2003, after the capture of Saddam Hussein, Sarsour said she and other Palestinians felt humiliated by the way Hussein was displayed, adding, "I think he's done a lot of things he shouldn't have done, but I was hurt. My Arab pride was hurt".[1]Icewhiz (talk) 13:20, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
Two issues here: 1). whether in describing the controversy over Sarsour's 2017 CUNY graduation speech, we should describe Milo Yiannopoulos's and Pamela Geller's role in the event, and 2). if so, whether it's unduly sensationalist to quote their actual remarks against Sarsour. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 00:23, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
Question: Should we include this sentence that Miller's differentiating between the Statue of Liberty and Lazarus's poem is also done by anti-Semites and the alt-right? --1990'sguy (talk) 12:56, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
Should the lead just refer to him as a singer-songwriter or should it refer to him as country singer-songwriter? Whether to include genre in the lead was bought up at MOS:BLP, and the decision was to determine on a case by case situation. JDDJS (talk) 21:51, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
The subject of this page is a controversial figure and the contention is that this should be addressed in a separate section. Gumsaint (talk) 00:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Should this Wikipedia article say --- either in its background section or in the lead or both --- that during the year prior to the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey various politicians including both Democrats and Republicans (e.g. President-elect Donald Trump and the Democratic leaders in Congress) had publicly questioned whether he should remain in office, instead of this Wikipedia article not mentioning that there had been any such public statements?
^Shelbourne, Mallory. “Dem lawmaker: Obama should fire Comey”, The Hill (November 14, 2016): “Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said Monday that President Obama should fire FBI Director James Comey….”
The article contains the following statement cited to Anthony Summers' book Not in Your Lifetime:
The former Executive Assistant to the Deputy Director of the CIA, Victor Marchetti, has claimed that David Ferrie was connected to the CIA. Marchetti told author Anthony Summers that "...he observed consternation on the part of then CIA Director Richard Helms and other senior officials when Ferrie's name was first publicly linked with the assassination in 1967." Marchetti said that he asked a CIA colleague about this who told him that "Ferrie had been a contract agent to the Agency in the early sixties and had been involved in some of the Cuban activities."
Should the above statement be included in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Location (talk • contribs) 00:18, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
Add the tag {{rfc|xxx}} at the top of a talk page section, where "xxx" is the category abbreviation. The different category abbreviations that should be used with {{rfc}} are listed above in parenthesis. Multiple categories are separated by a vertical pipe. For example, {{rfc|xxx|yyy}}, where "xxx" is the first category and "yyy" is the second category.
