Please can we discuss the creation of this section. Including it in the career section is not only wrong it is insensitive. This media coverage relates to her death, and unless it is specifically about Steenkamp the person and not about the case in general I think it should be kept in the trial article alone which includes comprehensive media coverage of the trial in order to avoid inappropriate WP:CONTENTFORKING. Why only include that specific programme and not the others? (I am not suggesting we include them all as we have a whole other article for that, but we can't cherry pick what we include here for whatever reason as that leads to an unbalanced article.)

- Whether the section should be in this article is debatable, what is definitely not acceptable is having it ax a subsection of "Career". I am now going to move it to be a subsection below "Death". This move in no way endorses the section's existence in this article, it is merely to correct a greater wrong asap. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:42, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
Added Tags for irrelevant info to be removed.
editAdded Tags to the article as it does not need all of the irrelevant info on the page. All of the irrelevant info make the page read like a resumé of everything she has done / accomplished in life. Viewpaste (talk) 04:41, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

The judges at the appeal court did find him guilty of murder. Does anyone who knows more about the SA legal system explain otherwise? PatGallacher (talk) 17:05, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Citizenship
editI realise that assigning people to a particular nationality may not be straightforward on Wikipedia. However I question if we should describe her as partly British even if she was technically entitled to apply for British citizenship. If you grant this approach e.g. we could describe all Jewish people as Israeli, since they are technically entitled to apply for Israeli citizenship. Resolving this could require detailed investigation of the citizenship laws of various countries, getting into OR. PatGallacher (talk) 17:44, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
