Inclusion of details of Artie Langes suicide before official confirmation is inappropriate   I dont feel remotely comfortable about this the addition of details about Langes alleged suicide attempt  I fear that editors would get their panties in a bunch if I attempted to  remove sourced information so I would really like to get a second opinion here are my issues with the source  the New York Post is a wellknown publication but its also a salacious tabloid with a track record of printing vast amounts of harmful and meanspirited gossip Thats not to say that we should never use the Post as a source but in this case it seems hopelessly shady if you read the article it uses only vague anonymous sources and doesnt allude to any confirmation from hospital or law enforcement authorities or from Arties family or representatives  Most importantly the anonymously sourced article is the only news source claiming Artie has stabbed himself  All other articles covering the suicide attempt refer to the New York Post as their only reference  Until some independent confirmation of Arties status can be given it does not seem appropriate to reprint such sensitive and personal details in a BLP  NOTE this post has also been copied to the BLP Noticeboard
