Hello, Teahouse colleagues. I was going to post a longer explanation of this situation here, but my question got "eaten" (did not post) so I'll be brief. This article, which Checkingfax, long-time IP user 71.41.210.146 and I (among others) have been working on, includes some information I'm concerned may not properly belong in the article, based on WP:BLP, particularly the sections on Presumption in favor of privacy and People who are relatively unknown.

One piece of information regards an indictment against one of the suspects, years before the shooting and unrelated to the shooting, which did not lead to a conviction; the other is an allegation that the surviving victim threatened one of the suspects prior to the day of the shooting, but there is only one witness claiming the threat was made (though multiple media outlets have reported this claim) and the victim has not been charged with making any threats.

Short answers here are welcome; more involved analysis might more properly belong at Talk:Shooting of Jeremy Mardis#Allegations about living people: How careful does WP:BLP require us to be? (or be included both places). Thanks in advance to all who help sort this situation out. —GrammarFascist _contribs^talk 17:38, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
