Talk:2023 Brownsville crash


Not yet determined whether this was an "attack". Also, suggest changing "car" to "vehicle" in title

edit

At least as of an hour ago, they had not determined if the crash was intentional.[1] Further, the "car" in question was a Range Rover, i.e., an SUV. Not normally what comes to mind when you think of a "car", and I think "car" also undercuts the gruesome nature of the incident a little bit. Bueller 007 (talk) 20:38, 7 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

The media has published the name of the suspect

edit

I don't know if it's OK to name this person or not, but in case it is, here are some sources:

Policy discussion at BLP mentioning this article

edit

There is an ongoing policy discussion at WP:BLP entitled Naming accused perpetrators of crimes debating the question of whether articles about high-profile criminal cases should name any known suspect(s) prior to conviction, especially when they are only known for their involvement with the event in question. This article is featured as one example of twenty fitting these criteria which named the suspect(s) after being published by reliable sources. I will be copying this message to the other articles so that interested editors have an opportunity participate in the debate. Xan747 (talk) 17:30, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
