'Peeping tom' in first sentence

[edit]

@Fruitloop11: I must remind you of WP:AGF, something you have not followed here. I can't figure what compelled you to search through my block log and tell me how many times I've been blocked in 2023. Do I have an admirer? (Redacted) Anyway, as I've stated, "being a ‘peeping tom’ is not an occupation nor was he actually convicted of being one". As you will note, he was convicted of murder and admitted to burglary and rape. As far as I'm aware, there's no specific law against being a 'peeping tom'. He's also not notable for being a 'peeping tom' and adding a couple of sources to back this up doesn't really help. You'd have to find consensus for this change.

Peeping tom is a felony in most states, and I will let the admins know (Redacted) which is a violation of WP:NPA Fruitloop11 (talk) 02:31, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I read this article a few weeks ago and have the same general conclusion as Willbb234, minus the obscenities and PAs. We don't need to [show] the progression of him being a criminal in the first sentence; for example, our article on Whitey Bulger doesn't say Whitey Bulger was an American organized crime boss and armed robber (emphasis mine). In fact, I think including "peeping tom" between serial killer [and] rapist on one side and committed at least 13 murders, 51 rapes feels almost trivial; peeping tomming(?) is a crime, sure, but nowhere near on the same scale as what is around it.

    I understand how you feel, but I do think it needs to be included because it is sourced and mentioned in several articles of him. I was thinking of compromising and moving it to "early life and career" but then a bit of madness happened. Are you saying you want to remove burglar as well??
