This person is a convicted homicidor, who is serving life behind bars and as such, he has no expectation of privacy. If he manages to escape from prison for whatever reason (conspiracy, natural disaster) people should have the means to quickly recognize him and so be able to protect their daughters from this predator. Therefore Wikipedia should provide the mugshot of the guy in the article!

Peter Chapman (murderer) → Murder of Ashleigh Hall – Chapman isn't notable, other than for this single event, and so there shouldn't be a biography about him as per WP:ONEVENT and WP:PERP. The murder is notable because of the significant press coverage of criticism of Facebook and the police, who had not been monitoring Chapman, who was a registered sex offender. Due to the public interest in the case, an Independent Police Complaints Commission review was conducted, which found failures in police monitoring of Chapman, which allowed him to slip off their radar. As a result, changes were made to police monitoring of sex offenders. After Chapman's conviction, Facebook issued a statement about the case and safety advice for young people using its platform. This requested move is based on the naming conventions for violent deaths WP:MURDERS. IndigoBeach (talk) 16:05, 16 September 2025 (UTC) IndigoBeach (talk) 16:04, 16 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom. I suggested this in the AfD, but we did not get around to it. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:48, 20 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
