:::Yes and no, the bar for notability to have an article is very high - understandably, especially for people are alive and not serving life sentences,etc - but to be mentioned in an article about the institution is much lower - we aren't speculating on their childhoods, what "he said, she said", etc, just a single sentence saying "X is in this facility after a conviction for Y" and limiting it to things that are serious (this IS a maximum security prison, though for example the inmate whose only crime is mentioned as "threatening a jurist" seems odd and a borderline case) [[User:New Yathrib - Fundy Historian|New Yathrib - Fundy Historian]] ([[User talk:New Yathrib - Fundy Historian|talk]]) 20:48, 18 April 2026 (UTC) |

::Thanks for this, this is more-or-less where I stand on the issue, articulated much nicer than I've been able to. As I said, I have no issue with [[Allan Legere]] being included -- I'm less sure about Bourque, as he is not the subject of an article, the [[2014 Moncton shootings]] are. All of the rest are nonstarters. [[User:MediaKyle|MediaKyle]] ([[User talk:MediaKyle|talk]]) 20:49, 18 April 2026 (UTC) |
