Merger
I have merged these two articles into a single entry covering only the event, per the comments here. The information at the start and end of the article was taken from Meredith Kercher, since I believe deference should be given to the victim instead of the suspects in the articles' lead, similar to Murder of Tom ap Rhys Pryce. I have taken information about the crime itself and its investigation from the body of the article for Amanda Knox. This was only because I had cited all the information in that section and I was familiar with the formatting. I recognize that that section frequently employs Knox's name and that there will be some bias to it, because I was the main editor for that section. I encourage others to edit it further to bring it close to NPOV. If this merger was premature, please let me know here or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

- Sorry, but I think that precedent is wrong; this page is about a notable event not about an otherwise nn person nor is it a tribute to that person. We thrashed this out at Disappearance of Madeleine McCann where the bio is, rightly, at the end. TerriersFan 05:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- It made more sense to me to have the brief biographic intro towards the beginning, if only to describe the players involved in the event itself. I don't disagree about the nature of the article, though. Cumulus Clouds 05:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- We are going to have to add bios about the suspects as well and my view is that they should form a reference-type section at the end. The reader wants the meat of the article early and then the background info later. The lead, rightly, introduces the victim and why she was there. TerriersFan 05:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- Also, Yellowdesk will likely remove the current events template from this article, since he expressed his view on Amanda Knox that that article doesn't satisfy the criteria of Template:Current#Guidelines. Just something to consider. Cumulus Clouds 05:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
