Talk:Death of Joe Cinque

message: The Joe Cinque article indicates this person was convicted of manslaughter, not murder. I'm not aware of any details of this case. If this fact is correct this article must be removed from the Australian murderers category. -- Longhair | Talk 20:19, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Murder or manslaughter?

message: * Oppose - I don't think there should be a merger.  I don't think it is fair to the victim, and I realise tht is merely a sentimental approach but ...  Further - judging from newspaper reports, she will quite possibly have an ongoing public life and this article will continue to develop.--A Y Arktos\talk 23:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger 

message: The merger discussion was a while back. The current state of affairs is that Anu Singh and Joe Cinque are separate articles and Joe Cinque's Consolation redirects to Joe Cinque. As best I can see, there are a bunch of notability cases:
* Anu Singh is notable, she's been profiled a number of times and her life attracts moderate amounts of continuing media attention
* Joe Cinque himself was definitely not notable before his death as far as I can see by WP:BIO
* Joe Cinque himself is probably not notable after his death either. BIO only specificially excludes people involved in a relatively unimportant crime from notability and this was a fairly major crime: unusual circumstances, lots of media coverage, an entire non-fiction book devoted to it. But the material in his article would overlap all but entirely with Singh's.
* Joe Cinque's Consolation is likely a notable book per WP:BK. It attracted a number of media articles, interviews and reviews, it won a Walkley Award for non-fiction and its author is a prominent writer in Australia. That is, there is a case for an article about the book itself, not only about the events that it chronicles.
I therefore suggest that there should be two articles:
# Anu Singh, covering the crime, the trial and her subsequent life if there continue to be sources for it
# Joe Cinque's Consolation, providing a short summary of the book and its critical response
Joe Cinque could redirect to one of the two, but I don't know about which one. 137.111.238.29 (talk) 04:54, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Different articles? 

message: I got access to a lot of the Canberra Times coverage from 1997–1999 via Factiva, which has resulted in many more details of the case. If anyone has thoughts, let me know! Thayvian (talk) 09:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lots more info! 

message: I've just proposed a merge of Joe Cinque into Anu Singh. The above discussion had concencsus in favour of Oppose, however:
* there still does not seem to be any notable biographical information about Joe Cinque except for what already appears in Anu Singh
* other people who were notable seemingly solely as victims of highly publicised crimes have been merged with the offender's article (eg User:Longhair's mentions of Richard Kelvin and Alan Barnes have both been merged into Bevan Spencer von Einem)
To be clear: I do not propose that Joe Cinque's Consolation also be merged, as the article is about the book, which is notable by WP:BK and the material in it is fairly different from that in Anu Singh. Thayvian (talk) 13:31, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal #2 

message: For what it's worth, I've spent the day going through this article giving it a workover. I restructured the article somewhat and rephrased a fair proportion of the content. I also added some new references, quotes, interviews. Importantly, I tried to reinforce that this is a biography article, rather than an article about the crime itself. Personally I would prefer if this article were redirected to an article about the crime/trial(s) because the status quo has some very uncomfortable aspects to it - not the least being that the WP article for the victim's name is a redirect to his killer's biography... If people agree with that opinion then I'd be happy to push for a formal article-move. I note that this discussion has been had before, but that was 7 years ago.
Meanwhile, in order to reinforce the fact that this is a biography of a person who was convicted of manslaughter (not murder) on the grounds of mental illness ("diminished responsability"), has served her sentence, and released, I felt the article needed a change of balance. For example, I changed the infobox template from 'criminal' to 'person' and added 'Dr.' to the lead sentence, since it's strongly sourced that she earned a PhD. I also removed some parts of the court case that were less relevant to Singh (e.g. details of the second trial of Rao) and added in some quotes from Singh herself. I understand that readers of the article might not appreciate this, but Neutral Point of View for a Biography of a Living Person is crucial here. Also related is policies about Undue Weight of an article, but that is very tricky to gauge in this circumstance because the Notability of Singh is entirely because of the murder case.
