In popular culture
A fictionalized event also was depicted in Arlington Road. Aminabzz (talk) 09:44, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Self-published source flag
It appears that statements of fact originally attributed to the DOJ Ruby Ridge Task Force Report and/or the Senate Subcommittee Ruby Ridge Report have received source citations by page number to a self-published book (WP fllagged [self-published source]). although it appears the self-published book is using the  DOJ Ruby Ridge Task Force and the Senate Subcommittee Ruby Ridge report as its sources. What's next? A bot coming along to do wholesale removal of statements of fact from the DOJ and Senate reports because some added page citations to a self-published source?

– Ruby Ridge is a ridge. The standoff at Ruby Ridge was an event that should have a different title, like Waco siege. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:26, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Ruby Ridge → Ruby Ridge standoff

 * Support per nominator. Killuminator (talk) 19:03, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Support, as I previously said at Talk:Ruby Ridge/Archive 3, the article is about the incident, not the place, and the title should say that. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 06:23, 3 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Oppose - The location is only notable due to the incident. Its own article is a stub that references this one to justify notability. —  The Hand That Feeds You :Bite 18:51, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, the location is only (or at least primarily) notable for the incident. The subject of this article is the incident. But the title of the article does not currently indicate that the article is about an incident. It should. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not necessary, per WP:COMMONNAME. If you say "Ruby Ridge," people know you're discussing the standoff, not the location. —  The Hand That Feeds You :Bite 20:27, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
