Talk:Murder of Kirsten Costas

Merge proposal

The article Bernadette Protti is essentially no more than a fork of this article, with no content of its own. I suggest merging it back into this article - we don't need a separate article for the murderer and the victim, they can both be covered in a single article about the case.

I think out of respect for the family of Kirsten Costos that the two articles should not be combined. Kirsten should be remembered for who she was and not for the last few minutes of her life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.51.10.119 (talk) 03:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but Wikipedia is not the place for memorials. Our articles exist to provide information on notable people and things, and Bernadette Protti is not notable except by her killing of Kirsten Costos - so she should not have her own article. I have redirected her article to this one; all the information on this case is now presented here. Terraxos (talk) 00:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

In that case Booth shouldn't have article all he was famous for was killing someone. why not merge him into Lincolns Article. 2 articles are in appropriate. Same thing could be said about the people that killed Dr. King. Anyone that did anything important shouldnt have a article? so not Bill Gates article that all belongs under Widows ( which belongs under Microsoft) same thing for Steve Jobs right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.70.31.100 (talk) 18:46, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Edited For Neutrality

The previous version, particularly the Background section, had a strong undertone condemning "less popular, less affluent" high school students, as well as Roman Catholics. Removed all mentions of popularity and unpopularity and all statements speculating upon Protti's motive (i.e."envy" and "jealousy".)
