[td]*:Agree, Hal333, I opened a discussion on a MOS board which should put this into effect. That there be no bolding. Referencing someone's name who is a criminal should be limited if done at all. [[User:Efficacity|Efficacity]] ([[User talk:Efficacity|talk]]) 03:53, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[/td]

[td]*:Do you have something based on MOS or P&G to support that as unnecessary? Or just personal opinion?

[td]* '''Oppose'''. [[WP:BOLD]] explicitly says, β€œThis is not a requirement”, so editors insisting that MOS requires bolding in this instance are plainly wrong. [[WP:BLP]] and [[WP:BLPCRIME]] ''require'' that we treat discussion of criminal suspects with a high degree of sensitivity, and presume innocence until proven guilty; bolding the accused represents a stark ''lack'' of sensitivity, and is therefore a clear violation of [[WP:BLP]].[/td]

[td]:Edit to add: perpetrator is dead, so I guess BLP doesn’t apply directly, but the spirit of treating such topics with high sensitivity should still apply. Is there any direct guidance for perpetrators who are no longer living (and therefore will presumably never end up being convicted of a crime)?
