Talk:1987 Viking Sally murder

Privacy of the victims
I propose to hide or conceal the name of at least the surviving victim. The person is still alive and should not further suffer from being involved in this crime. Especially since the case will go to court later in 2021. There are no public statements, books or anything that suggest the person's intent to be exposed further. See "prolonging the victimization" and "Privacy of names" in Biographies of living persons. Sommozzatore (talk) 13:34, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi thanks for your comment; I have some sympathy with this, and indeed the thought occurred also to me when writing this article. That said, I'm not entirely sure what can be achieved by omitting the name here, when it has been widely published in print and online media for 30+ years. But I've no strong feelings about this either way; happy to go with whatever the consensus is. (Incidentally, I take it your reference to 'Biographies of living persons' was meant to point to the WP policy at WP:BLP?) Best, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * WP:AVOIDVICTIM says: When writing about a person noteworthy only for one or two events, including every detail can lead to problems—even when the material is well sourced. When in doubt, biographies should be pared back to a version that is completely sourced, neutral, and on-topic. My understanding of this is that the article must use the details sparingly. E.g. if this were an article about a rape, a detailed and graphic five-paragraph description of the event would have been highly inappropriate. However, there no such details here beyond very basic facts, with the exception of the date of birth.
 * W.r.t. WP:BLPNAME, I'm not sure: I don't really see a strong case for concealing the name, but I don't see a particular benefit from including it either. GregorB (talk) 14:25, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
