Death of Victoria Martens

 * ... that the murder of Victoria Martens was described by the chief of the Albuquerque Police Department as "the most gruesome act of evil"?
 * ALT1: ... that Victoria Martens was murdered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, by her own mother?

Created by WereWolf (talk). Self-nominated at 15:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC).


 * Comment: striking ALT1 as a violation of WP:BLP, since the mother has not been convicted of the murder. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:01, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh ok! Sorry WereWolf (talk) 21:11, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I was going to review this article but I am uneasy about it. The first sentence states "On August 24, 2016, ten-year-old Victoria Martens was killed by three people, including her mother, in Albuquerque, New Mexico." Does Wikipedia have a policy about this sort of article where a crime appears to have been committed and suspects charged, but they have not yet been convicted? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:02, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Cwmhiraeth, the policy is WP:BLPCRIME, which makes sentences like that a definite problem. Your review should certainly take it into account, and the article should probably be tagged (no idea what the template would be, though). BlueMoonset (talk) 14:02, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. I have edited the opening sentence of the article that I mentioned above, and I now think the article is neutral. The hook facts have an inline citation and I detected no copyright issues. I do not believe a QPQ review is necessary. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:03, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg I have pulled this hook following complaints on WT:DYK and WP:BLPN. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  13:14, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Am I allowed to write and submit another hook on this page? I apologize I am still new to this format this is my third DYK nomination. WereWolf (talk) 17:13, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, please submit one or more alternative hooks. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:20, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT2 ...that officers from the Albuquerque Police Department "did lie" to the Albuquerque Journal with details regarding the murder of Victoria Martens?
 * *ALT3 ...that the murder of Victoria Martens occurred one year ago this month in Albuquerque, New Mexico? WereWolf (talk) 18:17, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT4 ...that Susana Martinez, the Governor of New Mexico, called for a federal investigation into the murder of Victoria Martens? WereWolf (talk) 18:21, 5 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment the article title has changed to Death of Victoria Martens I am resubmitting the previous three hooks with the new title name.
 * ALT2 ... that officers from the Albuquerque Police Department lied to the Albuquerque Journal when providing details regarding the death of Victoria Martens?
 * ALT3 ...that the death of Victoria Martens occurred one year ago this month in Albuquerque, New Mexico? WereWolf (talk) 18:17, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT4 ...that Susana Martinez, the Governor of New Mexico, called for a federal investigation into the death of Victoria Martens? WereWolf (talk) 18:21, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Resurrecting this nomination which appears to have got lost in the system. Striking some of the hooks and approving the second ALT2. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:17, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
