Here on the International Missing Persons Wiki, we value the extensive contributions by our variety of diverse editors. Here, members of the site can nominate a case close to them for "featured" status, which indicates the importance of the article's subject to our website.
See our current list of featured cases here.
Definition of a "Featured Case"[]
A featured case can have two major reasons for nomination. The first is for its popularity in the media or legacy it has left.
A second factor is the content of the article. A case may not be as well known to the public, yet the quality of writing and the amount of work put into the page is worth recognizing.
Cases with a featured status will have a star symbol next to their name in the infobox portion of their entry.
Guidelines[]
For those participating in the nomination process or the discussion following, some steps must be taken.
- To nominate a case, add a new section to this page detailing the case title (with a link), giving a short description, and why it was nominated.
- Users are to respond with "support," "neutral," or "oppose" in bold, followed by their reason for such a decision.
- In order to be selected, a case must have at least three "support" votes.
- The votes supporting the nomination must outnumber the opposition votes.
- At least one administrator is required to voice support for a nomination to be selected.
- In order to be selected, a case must have at least three "support" votes.
- All comments must be civil and appropriate. Failure to do so may result in a temporary block.
- Decisions should be made by means other than emotional; as we need to avoid a bias of this type.
- Cases that have issues with formatting, copy and pasting from other sources, or otherwise very short are ineligible for nomination until such concerns are adjusted.
- Please link to your user page (ex: [[User:Example|Example]]) at the end of your comment to identify yourself as the voter.
Nominations[]
Maurice Gerse[]
Maurice Gerse was a Sumatran adopted to the Netherlands who vanished after an argument with his employer at his home. I say we need more Asians and European cases in the Featured section. It is a long shot, but his article is pretty detailed which gives him a fighting chance. - (Nominated by Sarkan23)
Annie McCarrick[]
Annie McCarrick was an American woman who was last seen alive in Enniskerry, Ireland, on March 26, 1993. Her case is one of two that many people look back on when thinking about disappearances in Ireland. The Gardaí have continued efforts to find Annie, with the latest development occurring in 2023. Her case is still occasionally publicised in the media, including in regards to Ireland's "Vanishing Triangle." - (Nominated by SimsGuy67)
Sabrina Aisenberg[]
Sabrina Aisenberg was an infant who vanished from her crib. I think this has to be a featured case as it has been famous around the world, especially America, and it may be the inspiration for many movies. It has been covered by Inside Edition and her article has a lot of details. I feel like we need more infants to be in the featured cases, too. - (Nominated by ResearcherofUnidentifiedvictims)
