Naming

Should the name of the article be "Good News International Ministries"? I feel that it would be better to use the proper name. Patty J H (talk) 20:24, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not strictly opposed to that, however the majority of media coverage is referring to them as the Malindi Cult, which seems to be the name they are going end up being most famously known as. —Charles Edward ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 21:11, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A second Malindi cult!?

See [1]. The two cases seem to be very similar (involving actual or attempted mass killing of followers), and Odero’s group is also based in Malindi. However, it’s not clear if they’re actually connected or not, or if they even share the same theology.

Mackenzie and Odero might be working together, but it could also just be a freakish coincidence. A third possibility is that it’s a social contagion/copycat incident where Odero was inspired by reading about Mackenzie in the news.

Regardless, a disambiguation is certainly in order now, since Mackenzie’s group is no longer the only “Malindi cult” in the news. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:7DBA (talk) 19:06, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The current news sources say there is not direct link between these two cases. I am not sure this is worthy of inclusion here, without something more than is currently in the sources. And the second group appears to be much larger and well known, an article under their official name may be more appropriate, with a DAB at the top of the article. —Charles Edward ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 13:41, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
