Talk:Jack Thompson and the Jacob Robida murders

Who is this Thompson character anyway? The article about him doesn't give his first name or say who he is, and its title is misleading (in that, apparently, he wasn't invovled in the murders at all, only the investigation, though how precisely is unclear). My vote is to cull whatever useful, verifiable information there is in this article and place it in the Robida article, and discard the rest. Exploding Boy 17:36, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

He's not involved in any way whatsoever. He just wishes he was. He doesn't belong in any Jacob Robida topic at all.

This article needs to explain who Thompson is.. there is no context. I think this should be moved over to Wikinews, personally. Rhobite 20:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

This article appears to have been yanked out of the Jack Thompson article, Jack Thompson (attorney)#Jacob Robida Murders. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 04:54, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I recommend that it be merged back into the Thompson article. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 02:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. It's not newsworthy enough for the Robida article but fits with whacko jacko's article ;) SirFozzie 15:31, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree. Thompson's article is getting rather large, so it needs splitting up. I agree that this stub is unclear as to how it involves Thompson, so maybe a summary at the beginning, citing it as a sub-article, and putting it in context? Jabrwock 15:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Could we move it to Jack Thompson: Jacob Robida Murders, rather than Jacob Robida Murders: Involvement of Jack Thompson? Jabrwock 16:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Propose move

I propose instead of merging pages, we move this page to Jack Thompson: Jacob Robida murders so that it's more clear that this is a sub-article of Jack Thompson's activism instead of a sub-article of Jacob Robida. Jabrwock 16:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. SirFozzie 18:16, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I'll be moving the page later today then. Jabrwock 19:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
