Talk:Philippine Senate hearing on the Kingdom of Jesus Christ

Wikipedia is not a news website
@Hariboneagle927: Wikipedia is not a news website, nor should it be documenting a current hearing proceedings, and any likely future developments, before the Philipine Senate committee has issued its report and we know what the outcome is. Part of the issue is that this senate hearing is a current event that is investigating criminal matters that are part of a bigger picture in relation to the parties involved. To be notable, this article about these hearings needs to demonstrate that the hearing, itself, is going to have much more than just routine coveragein the news media. Any coverage that this hearing gets needs to be in-depth, persistent and diverse as well as having some sort of lasting effect in the future. We cannot say if this will happen at the moment. I think it is speculative to confine this article to just being about the hearing, itself, which the title does, and bank on these hearings being considered notable, as this normally takes some time (months or years) to determine. Wikipedia normally writes articles about notable crimes against victims; such articles focus on the crime, not the investigation or court hearings. Also, alleging that a suspect who is accused of criminal offences needs to be carefully phrased so that is is clear who is making the allegations and that the accused person is presumed innocent until convicted of the crime(s) by a court of law. Rather than write about these proceedings it might be better to merge the content of this article into the one about the Kingdom of Jesus Christ or write a specific article about the violence concerned, which could be called something like Assault of Kingdom of Jesus Christ church members. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 22:40, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
