CPOV
This article is filled with CPOV. Should this be treated as a Hitler-type case in Wikinfo policy, or does the SPOV option should be applied regardless of her actions? Anime addict 14:39, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- I would guess that it reaches the "Hitler-type" level of analysis. One cannot make a serial killer look "good" or "positive" and to attempt it would seem creepy or simply historically inaccurate. The fact that she lived so long ago is a factor, too. There's the judgment of history to consider. Even for a contemporary like Ted Bundy, it would be difficult to find a Sympathetic voice, and that exception would apply. (For someone whose conviction for a crime is seriously disputed, however, I would think then it would be warranted to ensure SPOV.) - Nhprman 17:06, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
