Rough sex murder defense

  • Date and length fine. I'm happy for either the original or ALT1. alt2 is cited but I think a bit slangy. QPQ done. No close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 13:02, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Returned from prep per discussion at WT:DYK#Prep 5: Rough sex defense. The article seems like a list of examples without any definition. It also seems like WP:SYNTH. Expansion on the term and more international examples would help. Yoninah (talk) 18:47, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah, There's no synth going on because according to Buzash; "The "rough sex" defense to the charge of murder asserts that the victim literally "asked for" the conduct that led to the homicide and that the homicide was the result of sexual practices to which the victim consented, and may have even demanded." I would like to give an international perspective but all sources are dealing with US, UK, and New Zealand. It may be that the defense is not used in other countries. buidhe 19:10, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Please see more comments at the WT:DYK talk page linked above. Yoninah (talk) 10:57, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah, I did attribute the disputed figure and clarify some of the issues raised. Others are impossible to fix because sources are not necessarily explicit which country they are talking about, or not relevant to DYK criteria eg. one could elaborate more on R v Brown, but there's no need to. buidhe 11:02, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Could you lead off with a Description section explaining what the defense entails? Yoninah (talk) 11:51, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
@Yoninah: Is this nomination good to go or is there something more that is required? Thanks. buidhe 07:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Yes, I think it looks better now; it's clear that we're talking about a wide range of countries, which was Johnbod's concern. I did some editing to put items in chronological order as Black Kite suggested. Restoring tick per The C of E's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:11, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Certainly better, but it now seems predominantly about the UK, & NZ a bit, with little on the US - should the title be using American English?? Probably not. Also countries of location needed for We Can't Consent to This (??) and the National Organization for Women (US). Johnbod (talk) 23:31, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah, I don't see how any of these complaints are relevant to the DYK criteria, and I would point Johnbod's attention to MOS:ENGVAR. There are no strong MOS:TIES to a single country as this defense is used in several so it is an appropriate ENGVAR variation. If he doesn't like it WP:RM is the correct venue as ENGVAR compliance is not in the DYK criteria. buidhe 00:25, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
