[edit] NPOV?

It's difficult to be neutral regarding the Steinberg case, but the article as it stood seemed to err on the side of caution. I have added material to characterize, very briefly, the conditions in which the Steinberg-Nussbaum household lived and the nature of Hedda Nussbaum's injuries. I wonder whether the balance of the article could not also benefit from some attention, covering the media blitz that surrounded this story among other topics. In addition, I intend to start a separate article for Hedda Nussbaum, not least because she has recently written a book presenting her side of the case and discussing her life since Lisa's death; she has also been the subject of fairly regular feature-article coverage in recent years.

Is there a reason that isn't an entry on Lisa Steinberg? Whether it's lack of interest on something you just haven't gotten around to it, I think she deserves an entry. I've never made an initial article, but if it's a matter of something you haven't gotten around to yet, i'd be willing to go ahead. morgannia 16:51, 4 September 2007 (UTC) morgannia

I don't want to sound heartless here, but the reason there isn't an article on Lisa Steinberg is the same reason there aren't articles on most people: she's not notable, apart from her death, which is already covered in this article. -- Terry Carroll 07:08, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
