Talk:Phillips family disappearances

WikiProjects of interest
I have added several WikiProject banners that may be interested in this article, beyond WikiProject New Zealand and WikiProject Crime. Although the reasons for including this article might seem tenuous or borderline in-scope for some of them, so I thought I had better explain myself. Reading the above, one might also conclude I hold the opinion that this article is about a single event. While I see this as an ongoing pattern of behaviour by a parent, there are two disappearances and so it is not a single event. Nevertheless, it makes sense to have a single article because that ongoing pattern of behaviour closely links the two events together and stops this article simply becoming a news story. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 21:31, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * WikiProject Biography - This article is primarily about a person named Thomas Phillips and his actions concerning his children. One could easily use his name in the title of this article and not change a word of the article. However, this individual is primarily notable only for one event, so guidelines around not writing a biography of a living person notable for only one event should apply. Similarly, living subjects charged with a criminal act do not meet the criteria for a separate biography, even though the ongoing event itself is notable.
 * WikiProject Law - I believe this article involves aspects of New Zealand family law, making it in-scope for that WikiProject.
 * WikiProject Parenting - This article involves parenting behaviour, which make it in-scope for that WikiProject.
