Title

Richmond rape incident?? Pretty awful title.

Better get this shaped up

It's only a matter of time before someone comes along and wants to delete this article. So get it in good condition and make it noteworthy Justforasecond (talk) 18:39, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Why is this a standalone article, rather than being merged into Richmond High School (Richmond, California)#Crime? tedder (talk) 18:53, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Incidents like that shouldn't be merged in with an article about the school itself. For example, Virginia Tech doesn't mention the shooting on its campus on its article, on in the template, because it has no relevance to the school itself. Cyanidethistles (talk) 19:56, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm not crazy about this article, but I think that the incident is notable enough to qualify under WP:NCA. I have made a few changes to be conservative in the treatment here, the biggest of which is commenting out the names of the juvenile defendents. The school article does not mention their names, and juveniles's names often are not reported. However, quite clearly reliable sources have published the names. Because I want to at least have the issue of whether to list the names discussed, I have placed comment tags around their names for now. If there is consensus to include, them, the information is still there in the source text. Xymmax So let it be done 15:04, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
