I've been reverted for removing the "see also" section. The enumeration in any bio article of all the people who died similar deaths strikes me as laundry-listing, even if that mode of death is unusual and lurid. I do see that this is common current practice; similar laundry-lists are on the pages for Stephen Kovacs, Ivan Pravilov, Mack Ray Edwards, and John David Roy Atchison, although not on Jeffrey Epstein's page. My question is, to what encyclopedic end. In these cases, the common thread is that they all committed suicide or died in prison after an allegation of child molestation. Coverage of this phenomenon is a legitimately encyclopedic end, though it appears that there is no current article on this particular topic - perhaps because not enough scholarship or journalism has specifically addressed it, perhaps because it simply hasn't been written yet. However, it might make more sense to address it and list it in an article about child molestation or sexual abuse, rather than repeating the same list on each alleged perpetrator's article. Alternately, a subcategory of suicides may make more sense. Chubbles (talk) 14:24, 31 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
