Talk:Mia Zapata

message: What a huge disrespect to Mia Zapata that the bottom half of her page is dedicated to the man who has been convicted of raping and killing her; with his picture and everything. I am going to remove him.  If anyone has issues with that, create a new page for him.   — User:Donutcity
This guy is still on her page.  People are debating if he should be depicted as murderer or what, but the fact remains that it is a huge disrespect to Mia Zapata to have a substantial portion of her page devoted to the man who raped and murdered her.  Seriously people. Donutcity (talk) 16:43, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: True. She is so much more than her murder. Would be nice to have some more information on her achievements, etc. Givemedonuts (talk) 10:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Jesus = Religious Death?

message: amazing how the suspect was named "jesus"
:Why is it amazing?  Quite a few people, usually of Iberian origin, are called Jesus.  I seem to recall a weird story though about a male nurse, a foreign national called Jesus, who works at a Swedish hospital, who was asked by staff to go by a different name because of the reaction patients got when told by medical staff "Jesus is coming".  Which is kinda funny. - THE GREAT GAVINI {T-C} 20:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Jesus 

message: Given that we mention in the lead bands that she influenced, shouldn't we mention Seven Year Bitch there, rather than only below? They were initially more or less her protegés (which can be cited to Selene Vigil saying as much in The Gits Movie). - Jmabel | Talk 07:35, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seven Year Bitch 

message: This article says her body was found "in a park". I believe that is wrong: I'm pretty sure it was a then-vacant lot (now built on) near the Douglass-Truth library. Also, this says that she was walking home from "a friend's house". I'm pretty sure that she was drinking at the Comet Tavern, a well-known watering hole on the Seattle scene of the time, and, if I remember correctly, stopped by someone's place in that neighborhood (Pike/Pine east of Broadway). Seattle newspapers from that time are not online, but should be possible to track down. - Jmabel | Talk 07:42, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Body dumped 

message: Included mention of 7 Year Bitch earlier in article. Also included 'Comet Tavern' reference and corrected fact that she was indeed found in a then vacant lot (not a park). Finally, removed Nirvana bootleg reference which really has little to do with Mia Zapata. Currently attempting to find references for info used in article.

thread_title:  Corrections 

message: Wonder if anyone is uncomfortable with the framing of this section and its apparent certainty that Mezquia is "THE MURDERER."  I was looking at the Wikipedia entry on John Lennon and I thought the matter was handled more deftly in that article, which states that Chapman confessed to the murder, and reports the known facts relevant to that aspect of Lennon's biography without seeming to demonize "The Murderer" or single him out with such force.  In the Lennon article, the facts relative to Chapman are contained in a segment called "The Assassination."  In addition to the name of the section, the text of the section here relates facts or alleged facts that support the conclusion that Mezquia was the murderer.  This is very important information, but there is no sourcing.  ("Mezquia lived in Seattle at the time and his home address was about three blocks from where her body was found. He had a history of violence toward women, including domestic abuse, burglary and assault and battery. All of his ex-girlfriends and his wife had filed reports against him. There was also a report of indecent exposure on file against him in Seattle within two weeks of Zapata's murder.") Carlos_X (talk) 18:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not.  It's just a plain assertion of fact about the circumstances of her murder.  There's no value judgment whatsoever in that sentence.  Your objection is based on not on the factual accuracy of the claim, but on your subjective interpretation, on the subtext that you personally are reading into it.  That's not a valid grounds for objection.  However, as it happens, the claim is unsourced.  Nowhere in the linked article does it say Ms. Zapata was believed to be wearing headphones.  THAT might be grounds for removing it.Cromulant (talk) 19:36, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Murderer 

message: I feel it's not appropriate to put this section in this article at all. Basic information could be included in the currently called "death" section. The "murderer" section got a kind of "this-is-the-beast-that-killed-her" twist. In her article she should be presented as a person on her own and not be combined in such a manner to the murderer.
Biographical data of him could be moved to a separate article, linked, and his picture being removed from the Zapata article.
