# Talk:Disappearance of Lars Mittank

Just like to point out this page is about someone who may still be alive. Please observe very strict guidelines on acceptable sources here, per WP:BLP.

WindowGuitar, I find that there is no justifiable reason why a link to an article of someone who disappeared from Bulgaria with no connection to Mittank should be included in the article. Eventually, every article with someone who disappeared would have numerous articles linking to it in a list, all without any connection to the original subject. I live in the United States. Imagine what it would be like if every article on an American who ever disappeared had a link to every other American who ever disappeared. Perhaps I won't push the issue if you are opposed, but I think that this new addition should be removed. Display name 99 (talk) 16:51, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Display name 99, I am opposed but let me explain why. I totally get what you say about disappearances in America, but the key difference here is that there are hundreds of American disappearance cases with a page on Wikipedia, where as I don't think you appreciate that the case list for a country with only 7 million people like Bulgaria is no-where near as extensive. In fact, the article I am trying to link to is the only other case of a disappearance in Bulgaria that has had a high-enough profile to have a Wikipedia article here. So its not like as you say there's going to be a problem of too many disappearances being over-linked to each other. This is the only other high-profile disappearance in Bulgaria on here, and they both had similar attention internationally and are related to a foreign national in Bulgaria (Mittank himself, and Dena Thompson being a British national in Bulgaria), so they have both been the subject of media focus across Europe in a similar way.

I wonder if it wouldn't be worthy to mention the conclusions of the private detective (Andreas Gütig) that Mittank's family - I believe it may have been the mother - hired, and who said he had found out that mittank was murdered by a criminal drug cartel?

The jam-packed text is because something is wrong with the HTML markup – the HTML tags, which control the formatting, are erroneously displayed as part of the text.
For the conclusions of Gütig, we need a good source to cite. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 05:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
