Talk:Death of Nicola Bulley

Inquest
"On 27 June 2023, the inquest heard that the cause of Bulley's death was accidental drowning". Surely that was the outcome of the inquest and so it's what it found? It had earlier heard that death resulted from drowning, but the accidental cause was a decision for the coroner to make? 205.239.40.3 (talk) 08:42, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Missing white woman syndrome
Is this March 2023 article in Psychology Today reliable or notable here: "What We Find Inside Us When Searching for Missing People"? It looks a bit bloggy. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 15:49, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It certainly would be good to have a source specifically draw a link between this subject and MWWS. We must question if this is a WP:RS though – Psychology Today says the publication is not peer-reviewed, and does Raj Persaud's history of plagiarism (and the fact he appears to be a media commentator rather than a practicing medical professional or academic nowadays) mean we should be looking for an article with a more credible author?

 * I tend to agree, Psychology Today is a bit of a coffee-table/ doctor's waiting room magazine. That article does reference some good journal papers, but it is essentially an opinion piece. Better sources will probably emerge before long. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 10:04, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Naming of Nicola Bulley's partner?
For context the partner should be named as it was reported he initially doubted she had drowned or had fallen in the river. Quoted sources, almost without exception name him. Jaymailsays (talk) 14:15, 3 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, the BBC tells us he was Paul Ansell, so don't see a problem. But does it add very much? Just shows he had a different name to Bulley? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:24, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * They were in a long term relationship with children but not married but even married people can have different surnames. Prior to recovery of her body, he was subject to unfounded, defamatory social media accusations. He gave a sit down interview with Dan Walker for channel 5 TV. So naming him is in context to the loss he has suffered. Jaymailsays (talk) 11:06, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Unconvinced. But no real objection. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:09, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * What value would his name add to the understanding of the topic of the article? -- DeFacto (talk). 20:00, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Death of Peter Lawson
I have removed the content about Lawson's death from the article as I don't see its relevance. Given that two different editors have objected to its inclusion, we must seek WP:CONSENSUS here before it is re-added. My thoughts are in the summary of my edit. MIDI (talk) 10:48, 5 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @MIDI, thanks for that. -- DeFacto (talk). 13:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
