[edit] Orlando Anderson

Orlando Anderson (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article does not assert notability, I think, and most of it is unreferenced. Anderson was rumoured to have been involved in the slaying of Tupac Shakur, but was murdered himself before anything like evidence or an arrest was going to be looked into. Page has only two or three vague references, but I still think it should be deleted per WP:V because almost all of the content is unsourced.

  • Delete per nom, implying someone is murderer needs good references (and evidence) MarsRover 05:45, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep the alleged murderer of Tupac garners a significant amount of public interest, certainly notable Rotovia 07:32, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, ridiculously easy to source, covered in major music publications as well as top US papers (LAT investigation) and received international attention. --Dhartung | Talk 12:02, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment, if it was that simple to add references to the page, don't you think it would have been much better by now? The article has existed since 27 January 2005, and still looks like a "pitiful" stub. BTW, he wasn't even a suspect during both investigations of the Tupac and Biggie murders, Anderson was just a supposed gang member brought in for police questioning.

  • Keep per Rotovia. However, editing for NPOV and careful compliance with WP:BLP is important. Stifle (talk) 19:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: he is not alive anymore (not sure if there is a WP:BDP out there). But I agree the same compliance should be used since its not like he can correct it himself. MarsRover 03:37, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I think WP:VERIFY should be mentioned as well: "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 06:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge→Tupac Shakur This appears to be an example of a person notable for a single event/action. There is content of Tupac Shakur related to his death; information about Orlando Anderson that is relevant to Tupac's death should be merged into the article on Tupac. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 13:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
