These are links from the names of the victim and perpetrators to an article on the murder. None of these people are notable in their own right, but the links are problematic or potentially so:
 * → Murder of Ross Parker (links to redirect • [ history] • )
 * → Murder of Ross Parker (links to redirect • [ history] • )
 * → Murder of Ross Parker (links to redirect • [ history] • )
 * → Murder of Ross Parker (links to redirect • [ history] • )
 * All the links to Ross Parker are meant to refer to the composer best known for Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again. He probably rates an article, but I can't find enough sources on the net to write one.
 * The only link to Sarfraz Ali (except for a circular link in the article itself) is the coach mentioned in Malta national cricket team, a living person unconnected with this crime.
 * There are currently no outside links to the other two, but they have the potential for similar BLP problems. Kanguole 12:24, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Awan and Nazir at the very least (Awan was the gang leader and received the longest sentence so is the most notable perpetrator anyway). Perhaps create a disambiguation page for Ross Parker?--Shakehandsman (talk) 15:45, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I noticed while examining my logs that a bot created this redirect when I made a poor page move. I don't believe this is a necessary redirect Ryan Vesey (talk) 01:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: appropriately redirects to Example, which is a disambiguation page. These types of redirects are common and useful to link to guarantee a connection to the DAB article. + m t  02:45, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Write after proposing this I read the essay Redirects are cheap. I think this might apply there. Ryan Vesey (talk) 03:12, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep WP:INTDABLINK 65.94.47.63 (talk) 06:18, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:INTDABLINK, which, although I disagree with it, stands as policy for now. &mdash; HXL's Roundtable  and  Record  17:42, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * INTDABLINK is one reason for redirects such as this, but I also find them also useful if I don't know the exact title of an article, as by adding "(disambiguation)" it is more certain that I will go directly to the disambiguation page. Peter E. James (talk) 18:02, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
