Article creation

Hi. I created the article. After learning about Espinoza's death, I went to Wikipedia to see what the circumstances were, as I usually do when researching notable people, but was disappointed not to find an article, so I added it. 74.215.122.101 (talk) 12:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SafariScribe perhaps you could response here instead of on the article. Not sure of the format for responding. Please take a look at my edits. I perhaps wasn't clear about the reason of the notability on the first draft. Thank you. Mediapluck (talk) 02:08, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mediapluck, when people are killed and they appear on news, we call those type of article WP:BLP1E. According to Wikipedia, they should be avoided. Cheers! Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 03:59, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it different than these?

When people are on the Kamala Harris or similar page reading about the controversy over death penalty cases for officer killings, it seems natural that people would want to read further about the details. 74.215.122.101 (talk) 13:03, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This draft has the potential to become an article about the "murder of Isaac Espinoza". While officer Espinoza is not notable as he was a low profile individual, and not a public figure, his murder is potentially notable if there is a lasting impact concerning the way the case was handled by the state government. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:18, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. That makes sense. I do now notice that a majority of the articles I linked are "Killing of...", "Death of...". 74.215.122.101 (talk) 15:16, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. That is because Wikipedia has a naming convention for articles about violence and deaths. This is how Wikipedia's guideline for writing about victims of crime manifests itself in articles. Such articles are about the events concerning the person's death, not a biography of the person. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 18:20, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
