This article does not introduce Spector as "a record producer, songwriter, and convicted murderer" due to his notability deriving largely from his music career. Per MOS:CRIMINAL:
Labels such as "criminal", "convicted felon", "fraudster", and "convicted sex offender" are imprecise and could be construed as name-calling or a moral judgement. It is better to describe the specific crime itself. The description and its placement should not give undue weight to the crime. [...] When the person is primarily notable for a reason other than the crime, principles of due weight will usually suggest placing the criminal description later in the first paragraph or in a subsequent paragraph

In respect to her family this topic should be highlight more and probably a whole section on this. Also he had a reputation of being brutal to women. You would barely know he was convicted of murder in this profile. 81.191.169.226 (talk) 11:31, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sjones23 Well, how we're doing it now seems to heavily underplay it. MOS:CRIMINAL says "better to describe the specific crime itself", which murder is, so we could just call him a murderer, or better move the sentence about the murder into the first paragraph. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:25, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I think the current sentence as written by ILIL (talk·contribs), Harvey Phillip Spector (December 26, 1939 – January 16, 2021) was an American record producer and songwriter who is best known for pioneering recording practices in the 1960s, followed by his trials and conviction for murder in the 2000s., would be a much more better approach.
