List of rape victims from modern history

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Recently created unsourced list is a prime target for WP:BLP violations and victimization and with no criteria for inclusion. Delete Secret account 02:00, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete BLP issues. --Rschen7754 02:01, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete with a bucket of salt if I can. No, just no. Disclosure per the sandwich below -- KTC (talk) 02:04, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as a honeypot for serious BLP issues and re-victimizing victims. It's not possible to make an exhaustive list of rape victims of the modern era, nor is being the victim of rape usually a notable thing in the sense that we use "notable". For most people who are already notable for something else, plunking them down in a list as "a victim of rape" - even if there's a source for that - as if that's somehow a defining characteristic of their existence, is demeaning. Being a rape victim carries a stigma in most modern societies, and WP:BLPCAT reminds us that "caution should be used with [content categories and lists] that suggest a person has a poor reputation." Disclosure: Secret asked my opinion of this list on IRC before filing this AfD. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 02:22, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per Fluffernutter. And fast. -- Hoary (talk) 02:28, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Honestly almost a G10 (but not quite).--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:38, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per Fluffernutter and the disgust with which fictional rapes (i.e something generally done for entertainment purposes such as an incident on a police procedural show) would be considered in the same area as real life incidents. I'd also go so far as to and admonish the creator to consider the sort of atmosphere they are cultivating with their edits. Disclosure: Secret also asked my opinion of this list via an IRC channel before filing this AfD. Nick (talk) 02:39, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
