Remove MIA

Why has there been several additions of people who were more than likely killed in action in war and conflict added to this list? Isn't there a separate list for that? Their fates have most likely been determined, even if a body wasn't recovered. Their "disappearances" really aren't mysterious at all. Let's get these names moved to a list for POW/MIA and such.

Agreed. Brecchie (talk) 04:20, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Amelia Earhart

Should we add Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan, both on 2 July 1937? See their articles for more details and references. Dirac66 (talk) 01:41, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dirac66: No, they belong on the List of people who disappeared mysteriously at sea. Davidgoodheart (talk) 19:17, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I hadn't thought of looking there. Thank you. Dirac66 (talk) 20:17, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I note the inclusion of a number of people who disappeared in combat, e.g., Frank Beck or Lee Kizzire. Their bodies were not recovered, but their disappearances are not really "mysterious"--it seems clear they were killed in action.

Having said that, there are clearly other people on this list who disappeared mysteriously while partiicpating in a war (e.g., Glenn Miller).

Perhaps we should remove combat deaths with highly likely explanations from the "mysterious disppearance" lists, and reserve the lists for more puzzling sort of disappearances? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brecchie (talk • contribs) 06:08, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On a similar note as the combat deaths. Julius Hirsch's disappearance is not remotely "mysterious". His own page says he was murdered at Auschwitz. If every Jewish person who was deported to Auschwitz and never seen again counted as a "mysterious disappearance", this page would be a mile long. Similarly, Ján Golian and Robert Byerly both went missing after being captured by German forces and detained at concentration camps - technically they count as disappearances, but not ones I would consider mysterious. 207.237.240.111 (talk) 16:38, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Juanita Nielsen

The inquest found "Nielsen had died "on or shortly after 4 July 1975", although there was not enough evidence to show how she died or who killed her". Suspicion fell on Abe Saffron and his men, and police corruption has been blamed. It's not particularly mysterious. It's more an unsolved homicide rather than a mysterious disappearance.--Jack Upland (talk) 03:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Remove 'suspects'

Obviously some angry people couldn't help themselves but calling out names of people they hold for 'suspects' here on Wikipedia.

This is a lexicon, not a vigilante shitshow. Remove all suspicions. It's bad enough that people vanish mysteriously. 2A01:C22:A932:6700:45DB:51EF:865B:D071 (talk) 04:22, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was cited, and the suspicions voiced, for better or worse, by investigators; not vague, gossipy, suspicions. The information also appears in another WP article. One suspect is a convicted and confessed multiple murderer, the other died in 2001. Properties connected to the second man have been excavated in an attempt to find traces of the missing child. Solid enough to appear here, I think. Would be glad to hear what other editors think, too, however. If others also think it WP:UNDUE, I'll defer to them.

I did adjust the phrasing, to make it precise.

Ondrej Sobola

We had an article about him. It was deleted. He isn’t notable. He’s one of countless disappeared from the Great War. The only reason we’re even discussing him is because his descendant wrote about him on his personal website, which, needless to say, is not a reliable source. — Biruitorul ^Talk 08:41, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Need "missing in action" indicated clearly

the article should indicate explicitly which people listed actually did not return from a wartime combat mission and are therefore presumed missing in action. currently several world war I pilots are indicated as having disappeared, with no indication whether they disappeared due to military activities or whether this is a genuinely mysterious disappearance. i hope to revise these, to indicate this more clearly.

Expand to include early 1900s?

I don't understand the split between List of people who disappeared mysteriously: pre-1910 and List of people who disappeared mysteriously: 1910–1990. Wouldn't pre-1900 make the most sense? --Dynamo128 (talk) 09:18, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
