Prescott, Arizona

Regarding the statement concerning whether Casey Anthony is a resident of Prescott: there is no reliable, verifiable source cited to support whether she actually has taken up residence in Prescott. I have heard news reports stating she may also have moved to the San Francisco area, the Los Angeles area, and the Seattle area. Until there is more than an "alleged" location, the statement is not suitable for inclusion in the article. Regards, --Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 00:04, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would add that it is unlikely to be suitable for inclusion even if the above standard is met, under "What Wikipedia is Not", we are not here to spread scandal or gossip. Unless you can show that she intends to remain notable, this move may represent something very much like Wikipedia's Right to vanish. However, if there is a profit motive, like intending to sell her story or similar, then it could meet the standard for inclusion. Otherwise, it is just base and crass and on the level of a gossip rag. -- Avanu (talk) 00:29, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
