Galileo?

Should I add Galielo, from Italy, as a famous example? Billvoltage 22:14, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I second that, and it should go under a new section, "Historical Notable instances". - Revth 02:00, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- How about Notable Historical Instances? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Billvoltage (talk • contribs) .
  - That might be a good idea Billvoltage, I'd like to see this article be extended a little bit. - User:Agent008 27th February 2008,19:29. —Preceding comment was added at 19:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm curious what the conditions of that house arrest might be like. Does anyone know where we could find more information about that? - User:Totalart44 3 May 2021

The "history" section says that house arrest "id not become a widespread alternative to imprisonment until electronic monitoring devices made it inexpensive and easy to manage". I think that this is a very strong statement and I can't find a reference for it; based on my knowledge of my life context, it even seems false. Also, I don't know how many countries actually use electronic bracelet on house arrest, and how this is considered a prerequisite.

I flagged it with

{{Where}}

but I propose to entirely rewrite it based on sources.

Paul in Acts of the Apostles

If anyone is interested, the situation of Paul (in Rome) in the Acts of the Apostles could be added.--216.15.48.37 (talk) 01:22, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Add Andrew Tate under a Romania section?

Should Andrew Tate's notable house arrest in Romania be added in a subsection, as a contemporary example? 123.243.118.76 (talk) 14:35, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

“Listicle”

Recently, the list of popular cases was removed, should it not be put up to a vote; it was a long section. Evenite's User Page (talk) 03:51, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted the change for now because I agree, it's appropriate to have a discussion instead of just wholesale deleting a huge chunk of the article. I think it should at least be reduced to "notable instances". Garnet-Septagon (talk) 05:04, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Hipal Your response? 2600:100C:A213:E54D:99B1:77D8:9226:50B6 (talk) 22:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why I was pinged here.

In my experience with many similar lists and articles, in order to avoid NOT and POV problems it is best to keep such lists very short with a high bar for inclusion. I don't see any obvious inclusion criteria for this article. Any need for a explanatory content with a list entry might indicate a problematic entry, especially if it's lengthy, which is the case for many entries here. --Hipal (talk) 16:47, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possible inclusion criteria: The house arrest was a major event in the person's life, beyond that the person was confined/restricted for the time period, or the house arrest of the person resulted in a notable event.

Basically, the house arrest directly resulted in notable events in the life of the person or others. --Hipal (talk) 18:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
