Nino Mangione

Hello! I saw your edit on Nino Mangione, and was hoping you could please point me to the talk page discussion on Killing of Brian Thompson that led you to remove the personal life section from the page? Just want to make sure I know what the consensus is on mentioning the "person of interest" by name and his personal relations, and when I could re-add the content to Nino's page. Thanks!
