Update[edit]

I initially started this because editors were claiming that "most articles" did not include victim names. As I was going through with this, and providing results as I went along, the editors involved moved the goalposts (they changed it from "most articles" to "most recent articles"), it was at that point I stopped. Anyone is welcome to pick up where I left off, but given the result I was seeing, it feels safe to say that "most articles" do include victims in some form (a list, or prose, or sometimes even both). —Locke Cole • t • c 19:22, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
