Marcus Wesson → ? – Wesson is inevitably the primary focus of media reporting, but the page would be better as an event page than a criminal biography, as the mass murder incorporated into the text, being the single deadliest of its kind in the city's history, deserves a page of its own. Seeing as the sexual abuse and cult-like structure within Wesson's family was also subject to signifcant coverage, a new title should be in vein of other criminal articles with incest such as Colt clan incest case or Fritzl case. While I'd have no problem naming two separate articles "2004 Fresno murders/Wesson family murders" and "Wesson incest case", I can't really think of a name for the single article they'll remain in should a move request be deemed appropriate.

• Oppose in this case. The only combined topic for these two topics is the person himself, they don't make any sense apart, but he was the only thing that connects them. Also, due to this he is not "one event" (I think there was also coverage of him before all these events but I might be thinking of something else) so there is no real reason for moving since WP:BIO1E does not apply; and as you said, most focus is on the person. Any other way to focus this would be nonsensical. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:17, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose. No other title would make sense. He's the link between all the crimes. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:24, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
