Talk:Peter Braunstein

Factuality?
With lines like, "His coworkers noticed that he was suffering from delusions of grandeur and paranoia" and especially, "His megalomaniacal nature led him to stop talking with his father after he made a negative comment about the play," Parts of this article seem to assume positions that aren't exactly... factual, such as his "megalomaniacal nature."

Am I the only one bothered by this?

 * Feel free to rewrite. I based a lot of this on the information from NY's tabloid newspapers so it's not impossible that I have gone off the encyclopedic path here and there. Ld | talk 04:03, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Removed from Rapist category
Removed from rapist category, as this is for convicted rapists. After a quick reading of article, I'm concerned that it is more tabloid than encyclopedic.--FloNight 15:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Nip/Tuck link...
There is almost 700 hits for this guy at http://news.google.com/ while only 18 hits appear to also contain the words "Nip/Tuck". All that do are tabloids and several are from the New York Daily News. Perhaps this should be removed? --87.80.42.198 00:34, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation page
I feel there should be a disambiguation page as searching for Braunstein leads directly here. I was trying to find info about the academic Samuel L Braunstein, who there is a wiki on, but it was hard to find. As I am new to wikipedia, and wikis in general, I don't know how to do this. Feel free to remove this edit as I'm not entirely sure that it contributes to the discussion.

Play website is discussed before any explanation of play
Its confusing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.175.102.110 (talk) 17:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

Trivia
I believe that CSI (the LV version, I believe) had an episode loosely based on the case. The same MO was used, lighting fires and pretending to be a fireman (on CSI they were smoke bombs). Even the shoe fetish, although the fictional character enjoyed giving a pedi first. He also ended up killing his last victim.

Wintour Picture
This picture doesn't seem entirely relevant to me. If anything, the focus should be on Braunstein or on his victim, not on someone he only imagined killing but who was not involved in the crime.

Jewish
Why no mention of his religion? When it´s about celebrities, the crowd cannot get enough details into every chapter? 89.15.237.94 (talk) 00:52, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
