I’m being serious — this is a really big case. Privileged murderer has somehow managed to skirt being identified for what she is? You’ll forgive me but I find this outrageous. Please help me find a link to an article explaining this or I’m going to lose respect for Wikipedia.

    Pretty sure she would not meet the standard for notability. So you can write one, but it’ll almost certainly be deleted.

    Where there are no appropriate existing articles, the criminal or victim in question should be the subject of a Wikipedia article only if one of the following applies:

    For perpetrators,

    The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities;[10] or The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual’s role.

    So make one? That’s the benefit of Wikipedia.

    FWIW, I’ve never heard of it or her. Is she famous or influential for something other than this case? Which I don’t say to minimize the deaths she caused, but because not every news article/criminal case/lawsuit/whatever rises to the level of interest to justify a Wikipedia page.

    But seriously, Wikipedia is a community-driven network. “Losing respect for Wikipedia” would be like losing respect for Lemmy because other people weren’t writing posts you wanted to see.
