[edit] Biography?

With Elizabeth Smart, as an adult, now choosing to be a political activist for the new sex-offender registry bill, does she not become notable beyond just her status as victim? She is not just some pawn or unaffiliated radical in this role: she is making appearances with the senior Senator from Utah and giving interviews on national TV. Should this article be renamed to her name rather than just focusing on the event? The page Elizabeth Smart (kidnap victim) already exists as a redirect, so maybe we can just use that.--75.37.14.196 (talk) 13:50, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree and plan to move the page accordingly. --Eustress (talk) 16:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

This note has been here for a long time and there was no response to my second, so I performed the move. --Eustress (talk) 21:59, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A section about what it was like for Elizabeth Smart while a captive is needed

• Personally I don't think that a section discussing this type of material is fair to the young woman. If you read the articles section talking about her experience with Nancy Grace, you can see that the girl doesn't want to discuss what happened to her. Wikipedia is not supposed to be censored, but I have to question what the purpose of a section outlining the sick details of her abduction would accomplish other than just damaging the girls future. There is already a timeline with short summaries and that should be sufficient. Redrok84 (talk) 18:57, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
