Naming?

[edit]

Disambiguating with lynch victim seems so..unnatural and strange to me. I'm not entirely sure what protocol is here either but maybe we can discuss it? Praxidicae (talk) 14:18, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Morris (lynch victim)Murder of Frank Morris – Very little notable biographical material, 95% of the article is about the crime and investigations rather than the person. He was known to have died as a result of arson. "Lynching of" would be more specific but the motivation for the crime has not been proven. "Homicide of" might be more technically correct as no charges/conviction. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:47, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article section “Life” should be renamed “Background”. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 19:38, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. I think "lynching" would normally be reserved for when there is a larger group of assailants. To me, "killing" or "death" would also be fine, although this case seems exceptionally clear as murder. —BarrelProof (talk) 00:43, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. If someone's parenthetical disambiguator, which is supposed to be what they're most known for, is being a victim, the title should clearly be on the crime. -- King of 01:02, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category

[edit]

This article is in Category:Killings by law enforcement officers in the United States. Is that really appropriate? If I understand correctly, that is an allegation that has not been proven. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
