Topic: [APPROVED] Just the one murder (murdered -> killing alias)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

The bulk update request #1084 is active.

create alias murdered (5) -> killing (2646)

Reason: From the wiki for murdered:

Murder is the killing of another person without justification or excuse, especially killings caused by malice, recklessness, or indifference to the value of human[sic] life.

Pulled straight from Wikipedia, and that definition unfortunately isn't all that useful here. Besides being really subjective, I can imagine so many edge cases where people could quibble about whether or not a certain death was caused by someone's "killings caused by malice, recklessness, or indifference to the value of [...] life". Seems simpler to just alias the tag away. Besides, murder is already aliased to killing.

(I haven't explored the tags around this area too much, so I'm making it a BUR in case similar tags pop up that could be included here.)

EDIT: The bulk update request #1084 (forum #312970) has been approved by @slyroon.
