Unsourced BLP entries

I have asked for some outside opinion on this at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#List of people who escaped from prison. Fram (talk) 06:51, 17 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Agreement that BLP entries should be sourced here (at the list page) or be removed. Fram (talk) 13:00, 23 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

List of people who escaped from prison multiple times

There is already an article called List of prison escapes but all the people on there escaped once, so I think either we should merge the two articles or rename this List of people who escaped from prison multiple times GiraffeBoy (talk) 14:14, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Like I said below, I prefer renaming it. Into List of people who escaped from prison multiple times or List of people who escaped multiple times from prison. Sander.v.Ginkel (talk) 16:41, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Renaming it would be the simplest option.GiraffeBoy (talk) 17:05, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Where's Willie?

Willie Sutton escaped twice from Eastern State Penn in Philly and one other time from an unnamed prison, according to the FBI. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/history/famous-cases/willie-sutton 69.253.158.202 (talk) 20:00, 2 January 2014 (UTC)ChezzoReply

Thank you! I added him to the list! Sander.v.Ginkel (talk) 21:54, 2 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Criteria

edit

What sort of criteria should this list have? I'm thinking there should be a minimum time that the fugitive alluded recapture at least - alot of convict return to jail within hours after all. GiraffeBoy (talk) 15:26, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Because also the article List of prison escapes exist, it is worth it to move the page to List of people who escaped multiple times from prison or copy the list to the List of prison escapes. --Sander.v.Ginkel (talk) 09:56, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
