This article about a teenager shot and killed by a Toronto police officer was prodded and unprodded in 2006. The incident and the results are discussed in Toronto Police Service. The individual is otherwise non-notable, so a redirect may be in order. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:54, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Is this discussion in the Toronto Police Service article in a section that this title could be redirected to as a plausible search term? -- saberwyn 00:03, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The inquest into this young man's death had repercussions far beyond the City of Toronto and their police service. Police services across Ontario, and even in other provinces, have also initiated programs related to the recommendations from the Coroner's Jury; they tend to be regarded here in Canada as "best practice". The recommendations included changes in the curriculum to the Ontario Police College, from which every police officer in Ontario must graduate prior to being assigned by their employer. I would not be averse to changing the title to Shooting of Jeffrey Reodica or something of that nature. In answer to Saberwyn's question, I'm inclined to think that that section in Toronto Police Services is likely to be pared down considerably as time goes on and it becomes less relatively important in the continuing history of the police service.

- Comment Wikipedia isn't supposed to be a memorial. However, this may be an exception given this Toronto Star source. There was indeed an inquest into his death. Artene50 (talk) 04:16, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Toronto Police Service. I believe that Jeffery Reodica easily falls under WP:BIO1E and that we should "cover the event, not the person". However, the event itself appears to be notable within the context of the Toronto Police Service. Within that article, all the important details of the event are covered: A shooting took place, an inquiry was held, recommendations were made, and they are being or have been implemented. This separate article offers no real additional notable information. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 12:55, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect per ShinmaWa and WP:BLP1E - adequately covered in Toronto Police Service. JohnCD (talk) 20:53, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect per above. A more clear example of WP:BLP1E there is not. Trusilver 21:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
