Hello folks,
Sorry to be talking about rape, again. Somewhat disturbing that your first memories of me will be repeated posts on this topic. I look at all the threads but don't think I need to comment very often.
Several editor are putting an alleged child rape victims name in articles without any support from mainstream media sources. I have argued against this content based on many WP policy/guidelines. But, I can't find any specific policy or discussion about rape victims.
Can anyone remember any place in Wikipedia English where naming rape victims in articles is discussed? I'm trying to find community consensus, one way or the other, on this point.
There is an arbitration case on this topic,WebEx and Min Zhu. I am a party. I added journalism sources to talk page of /Evidence. Most mainstream media sources in the US withhold names without the consent of rape victim.

I removed the alleged victims name from my evidence and have asked arb comm to remove it from the rest of the parties. Substituting a pseudonym is the usual practice in medical and legal cases that are published. For privacy reasons, having the victims name written over and over again in these cases is problem.
