So, the names of those convicted of this sexual assault have been made public but the court has a gag order protecting their identity. Does this apply to Wikipedia? The names were added to this article but then it was reverted. LizRead!Talk! 18:38, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Both the criminals and the victim were 16 at the time of the crime. I therefore support removing all of their names from this article. There's no indication that the victim qualifies for Category:Rape victims, and no indication she wants her status as a rape victim to be broadcast to the world for the rest of her life via Wikipedia. Being named in a permanent Wikipedia article is different from being named in a fleeting newspaper article that will soon fade away. As for the boys, it's a closer question, but similar reasoning.Anythingyouwant (talk) 03:33, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Of course, removing the name of the victim from this article will be complicated, since her name appears in the title and is generally how the case is known (unlike the Steubenville case). So should consensus emerge that the victim's name must be removed, does this become the "Louisville sexual assault case" (far too vague) or is it nominated for deletion? Even if I agree that her name should be omitted, will hate to see the article go as it raises some important legal questions and is notable for that reason alone.

I don't think the article should be deleted, but its title should be changed. The current title does not give any clue why the case was notable, and furthermore there is no need to name people in the title. How about something like "Louisville Teen Sexual Assault Case"?Anythingyouwant (talk) 04:31, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
The name of the assault victim still appears on the page, but only in the titles of the refs. How far do we need to go? Should the name appearing in the titles be replaced with [Redacted]? Dwpaul (talk) 12:21, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Correction: Victim also still listed by name in the Infobox. Dwpaul (talk) 12:23, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

My understanding is that the usual BLPN custom is to remove controversial material until there is consensus at BLPN to include it.Anythingyouwant (talk) 14:24, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
And yet even with this edit the victim's name still appears in the Infobox. Dwpaul (talk) 14:29, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Support The discussion at WP:BLP/N was fairly good and clear that this should be reverted back to the old title. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 23:49, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
