"A living person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law. Accusations, investigations and arrests do not amount to a conviction. For individuals who are not public figures; that is, individuals not covered by Public figures, editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured."
Based ON BLP, the Allegations of conspiracy should be trimmed and maybe eliminated because anyone accused of the assassination should not be included this includes Louis Farrakhan and Raymond wood. Also since someone has been convicted, there is a BLP qualified consensus of who was responsible.Yousef Raz (talk) 00:07, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I understand this was split off from the original post, but I believe we should include at least the names of documentaries or docuseries that look into his assassination as that's relevant to the information we're covering in this article.76.108.169.51 (talk) 13:57, 17 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
2 Men Convicted of Killing Malcolm X Will Be Exonerated After 55 Years

According to the lede, "Malcolm X was shot 21 times ..." The article goes on to say, "The autopsy identified 21 gunshot wounds to the chest, left shoulder, arms and legs, including ten buckshot wounds from the initial shotgun blast." i.e. he was shot once with a shotgun and a further eleven times with handguns. Other sources suggest that the shotgun was discharged twice. I don't have the Manning Marable source and I haven't been able to track down a copy of the autopsy. Would "Malcolm X was shot multiple times ..." be an acceptable alternative to the current version? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 19:24, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

While "Malcolm X" is the most used name, shouldn't the article at least mention that, at the time of the assassination, he went by another name ("el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz", I think)?
I didn't find a clear reference about his names in Malcolm X, otherwise I'd have done it myself.

I totally agree. Even though the name change was small, the reasoning behind it is a significant part of the animosity between him and the Nation. Mennette (talk) 07:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
