His grandson being arrested for mass murder is hardly "irrelevant". The Denver Gazette reports that a source confirmed the info. The Guardian independently confirmed it through his mother's social media. Other WP:RSS reporting it include San Diego Union-Tribune, The Hill, , The Independent, CBS and many more. More than two people have tried to add this to the article but have been blocked by User:WWGB for being "irrelevant". What kind of "consensus" is being looked for exactly?

An RfC has been added to Talk:Colorado Springs nightclub shooting. Kire1975 (talk) 11:06, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly agree here with editor Kire1975. This information is absolutely relevant. Thank you! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 22:44, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond it being relevant, I'd say it should be expanded with information on the public scrutiny he received, as well as criticism of republicans who failed to call him out. Mention of his grandson's involvement in the Club Q shooting should also be included in the lede. 46.97.170.38 (talk) 11:25, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• • Request to remove the word "tentatively" from the article. It does not reflect contents of the source article, nor is contained in the source article. The subject of the article is either a suspect, or not a suspect. The source article states that the subject is a suspect.

• • • I made that change without even seeing this request. Kire1975 (talk) 10:27, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Voepel's wife is Susan. They have two children. One of his grandchildren has been tentatively identified as the suspect in the Colorado Springs nightclub shooting.^[1] Voepel and his family live in Santee, California.^[2] MikeAllenTucker (talk) 05:58, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

With the Colorado Springs nightclub shooting, it's surprising to learn that his son-in-law, Aaron Brink, is a notable figure with an even longer Wikipedia page. I can understand why it'd be left off from a political PoV, but I'm curious what depth of family relationships go under "Personal Life". After all, grandson and son-in-law are the same distance away in a family tree. Occamsrazorwit (talk) 00:15, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
