Merger proposal

edit

I'd suggest that Matthew Dennis Hunt should be merged here, per WP:VICTIM: A person who is known only in connection with a criminal event or trial should not normally be the subject of a separate Wikipedia article if there is an existing article that could incorporate the available encyclopedic material relating to that person. No disrespect to Constable Hunt, but his police career doesn't seem to have been independently notable, and WP:ONEEVENT states that in these cases the general rule is to cover the event, not the person.

I agree, I believe that we could possibly merge the contents of Matthew Hunt's article into the "People involved" section by adding a "Matthew Dennis Hunt" sub-heading and merging the contents of Constable Hunt's article and then a "Others involved" sub-heading, and moving the remaining two bullet points under that.

Indeed. That should happen to be in line with a number of policies (e.g. he is notable for one event only). Schwede66 06:08, 31 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
