A debate is raging among Wikipedia editors over whether to delete the profile page of Erika Kirk, wife of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Her Wikipedia entry is currently locked, with users unable to make changes as editor nominators argue she fails the site’s notability standard and lacks significant independent coverage.

Erika did not have a standalone Wikipedia page before her husband’s death. Editors noted the article was created on Thursday in the immediate aftermath of the killing.

Wikipedia, which allows anyone to edit its articles, often locks high-profile or disputed pages during heated debates. The entry is currently locked until Sept. 18.

However, the majority of those weighing in have argued that her profile should be kept, writing that there is significant public interest in her now due to current headlines.

“Wikipedia looks ridiculous with a banner on top noting that this topic is being targeted for deletion,” one user wrote. “And it can’t be edited until Sept. 18? Again, ridiculous. She gave a speech Friday night, two nights after the murder (covered live only by FOX) in which she forcefully declared her intentions to take the TPUSA movement forward. The clamps need to be removed.”

Another echoed those sentiments.

“This is ridiculous nitpicking. She is NOW notable, so she should now be included in Wiki,” the user wrote. “There are plenty of people highlighted in Wiki that are far from ‘notable’ as many would define it.”

Many keep votes are driven by current public interest and her Miss Arizona win in 2012 — arguments sometimes seen as weaker under policy.

Although the keep votes are in the majority, the decision will ultimately hinge on whether administrators believe there’s enough independent, significant coverage to meet the bar. Policy-heavy delete rationales carry weight.

Fox News Digital reached out to Wikipedia for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication. 

Wikipedia has often been criticized for leaning left. In 2022, Elon Musk slammed the site for contemplating removing its entry on the “Twitter Files” investigation, while in 2020 the platform locked down a page on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
