 * Merge and redirect to appropriate target Surely notable kidnappings and executions of this type that receive substantial media coverage are included in some sort of list? After all, some a-hole created list of bacon dishes... ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:12, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment BLP1E is one of the more frequently misunderstood policies. People are often made famous - and notable, meaning of lasting interest to informed readers - for a single thing. Events are often notable, and by definition an event happens only once. BLP1E reflects the truism that a person's connection to a notable event does not always make the person themselves notable. (disclosure: this is plagiarism). Here it is the event (not the person) and the possible repercussions that could justify inclusion.  Power.corrupts (talk) 21:48, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
