Bathtub Girls murder
editThis article has the alias for the victim and her two daughters (per Youth Criminal Justice Act) - as well as their real names, obtained from two Spanish-language articles. I am not finding reliable sources aside from the Spanish articles with their real name.
Should all the verbiage about the real names be removed from the article? I am not sure how that works with Canadian law and Wikipedia's responsibility to comply with the law. Any help would be much appreciated!–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:24, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- I am going to go ahead and change the article to remove the real names. It feels like the right thing to do, particularly since there do not appear to be any news sources in Canada or any other English-language newspapers that mention their real names (per a search on newspapers.com and google news).–CaroleHenson (talk) 14:35, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- (This should probably be on the talk page of that article, but I'll reply here for now.) I think removing the names due to a verifiability issue, combined with BLP issues was the best solution. In terms of the application of the YCJA, it's Canadian law and does not apply to Wikipedia which is bound by US law. As per Wikipedia:Publication bans, there's a lot less law in the US on publication bans, but there may be a relevant Wikipedia policy for the specific context.

- Thanks so much for responding Singularity42. I do have a posting on the article talk page about this issue / WP:OUTING and a WP:RevDel, but I thought that this is a better audience to discuss whether real names should be used. Your response helps, thanks!–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:18, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Not when the Victim's families read this. Its a publication ban for a reason, Wilkapedia doesn't seem to understand these issues. Please do not ever publish the true indentities of my family. 74.127.204.1 (talk) 04:18, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
