This article is inappropriately named. The case is being investigated by authorities as a possible kidnapping, but there is not yet a positive indication that that is the case, and Wikipedia should treat it as a disappearance. Nobody knows whether she got into the vehicle willingly or not. I suggest that the content of this article (which is better referenced) be transferred to
Disappearance of Yingying Zhang, which currently redirects here, and that this article then redirect to it.

@ Lvhis: Correct, it's not a court. Therefore we cannot presume that the arrested man is guilty. There is no evidence (yet) that she has been kidnapped, only suspicion. Please move it back. Akld guy ( talk) 04:32, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Kidnapping case of Yingying Zhang – Support- WP is neither a law firm nor a lecture class in a law school.
The source of FBI, the authority, is also Reliable Source. Any one who refuses to use "kidnapping" for the title of this page needs to provide a source clearly stating that this is not a kidnapping. Using one's knowledge about law to judge this title of this page is an Original Research that violates WP's policy.

I had to delete Christensen's mugshot off of the article because I couldn't find evidence of permission to use the mugshot (I'm a total noob at Wikipedia). If anyone else wants to upload it and find appropriate permissions, that would be appreciated. Atontado ( talk) 01:48, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
I updated the name as "Kidnapping case of Yingying Zhang" to meet the updated content which is all about a formal kidnapping case. Please do not move the page elsewhere unless this kidnapping case is formally and legally dismissed. -- Lvhis ( talk) 16:22, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
I suppose that I should be the one writing this talk section since I'm the one who wrote the criticism section. Someone posted this page to the UIUC subreddit and there seems to be a general consensus that the criticism section is unnecessary. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/UIUC/comments/6ou2nf/wikipedia_page_on_yingying_zhang/ Her disappearance was in no way the bus driver's fault. The driver not stopping for her got attention, which was why I included it. In addition, it seems that the university purchasing new security cameras was a direct result of this case, which was why I included it. Do you guys think the section is unnecessary? When I wrote the section, I was aiming to make it sound unbiased and to make the whole page similar to other disappearance/kidnapping pages. See: Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, Kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard (I'm sure there's more pages with a similar section, you get the gist.) Atontado ( talk) 19:41, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Should {{about|the diplomat|the former student|Disappearance of Yingying Zhang}} be placed at the top of article Brent Christensen? -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 09:07, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
Although potentially under WP:BLP (or, at least, persons not known to be dead), the article is not about Yingying Zhang, but about her disappearance, so it should not appear in categories related to the person, such as Category:1990 births. Also, I deleted Category:Missing persons in favor of the more specific Category:Missing person cases in the United States. If you want to restore categories, please check the charters of the individual categories to see if articles not about the person should be included. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:21, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
While cited, the Denial of defense motions section essentially directly copies the entire Northwest Herald AP article [1]. If someone with more experience dealing with copyright violations could address the issue, that would be appreciated. Markg17 ( talk) 04:52, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
