Talk:Murder of Jun Lin

Understandable about how he wasn't officially charged with animal cruelty, but it was Luka who posted them. Who else would be influenced by the kitty scene from American Psycho as inspiration to put those poor defenseless kittens in a fridge? Espngeek (talk) 00:09, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

:But we have to comply with WP:BLPCRIME. Magnotta was being pursued by online animal rights activists and they found various photos and videos which they said were him. The problem is that they never succeeded in getting him arrested or prosecuted, and the article has to make this clear. Saying "it was him" doesn't comply with BLP guidelines.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 06:52, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

::No offense to WP:BLPCRIME, but that's like saying he didn't posted those vids and someone else did. Espngeek (talk) 18:34, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

I have decided to remove the following from the bibliography section:

• Luka Magnotta – Book Release – Biography – True Crime. {{ISBN|9781105848834}}

It has been listed there [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_Jun_Lin&diff=prev&oldid=544022705&title=Murder_of_Jun_Lin&diffonly=1 since 2013]. However, I couldn't find any evidence that this book exists. It isn't listed in the American nor the Canadian library catalogue.

There is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-10jh6oi_s this video] by BioLukaMagnotta, which claims that the book is titled New Born Killers and written by Jos Borsboom. But I couldn't find any more information on that either.

The accompanying website, newbornkillers.com, doesn't exist anymore. And its [https://web.archive.org/web/20120617024240/www.newbornkillers.com copy in the web archive] doesn't include a lot of information. Adrio (talk) 22:32, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

released Aug 1, 2024, add to media section? 2600:1005:B087:267A:B1B8:ACF9:5EBD:55D7 (talk) 14:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

:This would have WP:POPCULTURE problems unless there was significant coverage in mainstream secondary sources. Wikipedia articles often become bogged down by this type of tangential material. There is some sourcing [https://regenmag.com/news/news-latest-single-by-skynd-addresses-mental-health-internet-killers-and-impact-of-2012-murder-on-the-lgbtq-community/ here], but it doesn't seem blue chip. --♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 15:14, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

The band Skynd recently released a song and music video about Luka Magnotta, called Violets Are Blue. 2607:FEA8:9942:BC00:ABBD:87C9:9652:F6D (talk) 15:28, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

:See the section above. I've had a fresh look for sourcing but there still isn't enough to meet WP:POPCULTURE guidelines. There need to be reliable secondary sources discussing why it is notable.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:34, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
