Request for mediation
The Icelandic Wikipedia has recently found itsself confounded by a problematic article regarding a particular person who was recently convicted of rape. We request mediation regarding a few aspects of this matter which we have not been able to satisfyingly resolve ourselves:
- Is mention of such a felony, along with a citation from the judgement considered unencyclopedic in any way, and furthermore when does such an article become unacceptable with regard to that persons privacy? This question is asked without regard to the
- Is the creation of nonambigious redirects (in our case the term "the sleep-rapist", or "svefnnauðgarinn", the definite article implied by the 'inn' at the end) acceptable when the creation of such links is demeaning to the person featured in the article the term is redirected to?
- Is the creation of ambigious redirects, such as above without the definite article (in our case the term "sleep-rapeist", or "svefnnauðgari"), acceptable when the redirect points towards an article featuring one specific person?
Translation of the article in question, in it's most recent state, follows (in verbatim where possible and applicable):

[breyta] Rape case
Stefán was convicted of having raped an 18 year old girl in Reykjavík on the 27th of november 2004, for which he was sentenced by the district court of Reykjavík on the 17th of november 2005 to 2½ years of prison and to pay the girl 900.000 kronas, as well as a fine of 590.000 kronas. Stefán pleaded innocent before the court but his testimony was not considered convincing. In the sentence it was mentioned that Stefán had not previously been found guilty of punishable activity, which may effect his punishment. The sentance says:
"When deciding punishments it shall be noted that the crime was especially rude and vile and was marked by focused intent. Despite the fact that the victim explicitly said that he was hurting her and that his sexual movements were against her will the convicted did not think twice about resorting to violence. The convicted has no chance of redemtion."
The judges in the case were Ingveldur Einarsdóttir, Páll Þorsteinsson and Símon Sigvaldason.

Stefán holds a masters degree in space engineering and has worked as project manager and space engineer at Iðntæknistofnun Íslands (Technological Institute of Iceland) and as project manager at Impra nýsköpunarmiðstöð (a body of the aforementioned Technological Institute). At Iðntæknistofnun he worked, amongst other things, on a survey of the options Iceland had for participation in the European space project in cooperation with the ESA. He was project manager of a grant from Tæknisjóður under the title „Skoðun á möguleikum Íslands í Evrópsku geimferðaáætluninni“ (Survey of the possibilities Iceland has for participation in the European space project).
Stefán also wrote answers to questions on Vísindavefurinn where he replyed to a total of 16[1] questions related to space engineering, i.e. "What is the difference between a jet engine and a rocket engine?", "What caused the loss of the Columbia spaceshuttle" and "What do space engineers do?". After his conviction Vísindavefurinn removed the answers he wrote from it's website. When visiting the URL to the questions[2] the same error message is displayed as when the question has never existed: "This question was not found".
