Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Murder of Seth Rich

Please see new discussion on article talk page. SPECIFICO talk  11:54, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

An Unjustified Block of my comment was made on the Project Page.
I have no idea who blocked it, as it does not show the person who did it. But it says, "collapse misstatement of fact contradicted by virtually every RS and insinuating BLP violation." That comment is absurd. My comment which any level-headed person can judge merely points out that there exist two opinions, found in two different news sources: 1) The Telegraph says that Rich got shot in the head, while 2) the Daily News Online says that Rich got shot in the torso. I also expressed my opinion that the DNO looks tabloid to me. This was basically an objective observation in response to someone who argued for notability based on a shot to the head. I agree that the article deals with something notable, but I objectively opined that the claimed notability (shot to the head) was disputed. There also has nothing to do with BLP or being contradicted by reliable sources. (PeacePeace (talk) 05:50, 25 August 2016 (UTC))


 * I think you deserve to have this addressed by neutral people that you're not currently in a content dispute with. And while that could potentially happen here, you can also ask at the WP:TEAHOUSE. Geogene (talk) 01:20, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi PeacePeace. You can usually find out who made an edit by looking at the edit history; you can also sometimes find out why the edit made if an edit sum was left. The post was collapsed by with this edit. Maybe they will respond here and explain why. I wouldn't directly edit the thread yourself now that it has been archived, but you could ask the closing admin  to review the collapse and see if it complies with WP:TPG. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:37, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This stuff was false, i.e. it failed verification, and it implied defamatory BLP violations. I've previously explained that, but the complaint persists. SPECIFICO  talk  02:29, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * What is false? I documented that there were 2 opinions of where Seth Rich was shot 1) head 2) torso.  It has nothing to do with BLP,  there was nothing defamatory in presenting the two POV.  The stuff is true, not false, and does not fail verification.  (PeacePeace (talk) 03:12, 28 August 2016 (UTC))
 * The issue has already been discussed here. We are not adding "head" back to the article. Let it go. -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 05:13, 28 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I never suggested adding anything to an article. I responded to someone's argument that being shot in the head made it notable.  I responded that it is not clear that Seth Rich was shot in the head by posting with citations 2 opinions on the subject.  Then my comment was blocked off.  I suggest that whoever blocked it receive a warning. (PeacePeace (talk) 14:20, 28 August 2016 (UTC))
