This certainly throws a wrench into the government's story. I've chosen not to edit this article but it is interesting and will probably be elaborated on further. PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:46, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have done a bit of research into this whole thing. About 10 months ago someone posted a compiled post of some of his 4/8chan posts. Funny how only just now the media are picking it up. reddit post. Kiwiz1338 (talk) 15:44, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The terrorist received 52 life sentences + 480 years. Genberg47 recently edited the infobox to reflect this. It is interesting that until then, the "Sentence" part had read "life imprisonment without the possibility of parole". Sure, the perpetrator will never be released, but I agree with this edit. Among other articles, multiple life sentences are noted at Terry Nichols, for example. 2A02:AB04:2B5:7200:8057:82C6:D9EA:5BB7 (talk) 16:04, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nikolas Cruz, for example, "deserved" to have personal page on Wikipedia, but Tarrant not? Just ridiculous. Feww2 (talk) 03:37, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are no hard and fast rules in this area. Previous consensus is that Tarrant does not need a separate bio because all of the key facts are covered here.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me) 08:27, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tarrant in the 17th deadliest murderer in history, the fact that he takes up a quarter of this article is pretty weird in my opinion, when there is such a large amount of information it should be moved to a seperate article and this one should focus on the events and victims. Of course there should still be info on Tarrant but we can’t have so much of this article be about him. A seperate article only makes sense in my opinion.
