There was a memorial wiki as well, which eventually was locked, I think. A link is on the page Charles mentioned. FWIW, Wikipedia's approach to articles on the victims of a disaster/atrocity is fairly consistent. In general there needs to have been prior coverage that would have warranted an article, for such text to survive as an independent article.
