thread_title:  Death. 

message: Per the article on CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/06/living/actress-amanda-peterson-dead/index.html) published on 7/8: "She died on Friday morning.".  That would indicate 7/3, not 7/5 which was a Sunday. --dashiellx (talk) 14:29, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The cited ET source also states she passed away on Friday. I think it would be safe to set it to 7/3 at this point, but if we want to wait for further verification, that's fine too. --GoneIn60 (talk) 16:36, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Absolutely. Completely agree. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:33, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Agreed.  --DHeyward (talk) 22:56, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That's leaning on the assumption the details from the coroner are released. What if it isn't? I found a source already where her mother verified she had died the 5th. Coroner's report is no longer needed, nor necessary at this point. Rusted AutoParts 00:56, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The article claiming she died that day is dubious since the article also states the coroner hasn't released anything yet.  There is no hurry for a death date.  This is a BLP and we need to be cautious.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  01:07, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: "Her mother isn't reliable". That's really, REALLY stupid. Her mother was clearly there the night she died, saying that is not reliable is a crock of shit. You're, as I said, leaning on the assumption the coroner releases the info to the public. Since we have a source, a secondary source as people clammer for here, with her mother discussing her final hours, we can use it. Rusted AutoParts 01:11, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest you take it down a couple of notches with the language and attitude.  Right now, consensus is for waiting on the coroner's report. -- WV ● ✉ ✓  01:14, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: An arrangement you made hindering, again, on the concept the coroner releases anything. I can't help one editor's pickiness resulted in this even being debated. We have a source pointing to the DOD. We no longer need a coroner report. Rusted AutoParts 01:17, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

text: I just need to know how her own mother, whom CNN cited as saying "she died on Friday morning" doesn't qualify as a "reliable source". They lived together by the sounds of it, so she's the best source we have. Just because one boneheaded newsite fucked up the reporting doesn't water down the primary source of Peterson's death. Rusted AutoParts 01:38, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The mother is a primary source.  Her statement that she died on Friday conflicts with several reliable sources as well as the fact that a police spokesperson has said nothing yet has been determined and the details will be released at a later date.  Further, the reports from various sources are also conflicting.  Even within the articles that quote the mother.  One says she died Friday, another says she died Sunday.  At this point, the only source that will be certain and undeniably reliable will be the coroner's report.  I've already said it but feel the need to repeat: there is no rush to get her date of death in this article.  We are not a newspaper.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  02:52, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Agree with WV and the other two - there is no urgency here - and that RAP needs to dial back the combative tone. ―Mandruss ☎ 02:57, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

text: I thought that she had been dead for "several days" before she was found?  If true, how would her mother know exactly which day she died?   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 04:08, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this is another inconsistency that makes the claim of the mother dubious -- possibly the source of the confusion that has resulted in the conflicting stories from sources.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  04:32, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. So far, all the sources I've come across agree that she was found on Sunday. So it's not logical that the mother, or anyone else for that matter, would know that she passed away on Friday without the coroner weighing in first. --GoneIn60 (talk) 04:54, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Frankth!! ―Mandruss ☎ 05:51, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You unable to handle a stern attitude or something? Has anyone raised their voice at you in life? You must be very delicate then, if you think I'm being combative. I'm not trying to start a fight, or pick up arms or anything. No sources say that she "died" on Sunday, they say she was "found" Sunday. Her mother said she died Friday. That's on record. You can wait for a coroner all you want, as I said there's no guarantee anything gets released. Perhaps her mother wants the info private. We have a few reliable sources now offering her DOD. Just saying.Rusted AutoParts 15:18, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no guarantee we'll see a coroner's report, but I'd suggest crossing that bridge if and when we come to it. None of us possesses a crystal ball. And you really haven't responded at all to the excellent points that there is no urgency and Wikipedia is not a newspaper. If those points mean nothing to you, and the fact that you're alone in this against three or four four or five editors means nothing to you, my suggestion is to give up on us idiots and pursue dispute resolution. ―Mandruss ☎ 15:30, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

text: There are a few sources that say she died on Sunday.  The few sources that say she died on Friday are quoting the mother, whose claim is dubious and unreliable absent the coroner's report.  News sources, when something like this happens to a celebrity, often just want to get answers, even if those answers are dubious or just wrong.  We are to go off of facts.  The facts aren't in yet, therefore, we wait until facts from reliable, secondary sources are available. -- WV ● ✉ ✓  15:33, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: So, does this count towards other people too? Because I see everyday that someone's agent states "they died last night" or "they died June 7" without a coroner report. The mother's claim is not dubious, she was clearly with Peterson the night she died. So if we're to apply the "coroner report" crap to everyone, then we wouldn't know anyone's exact DOD. Rusted AutoParts 15:38, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The police spokesperson stated she was alone in her apartment when she died. Further, if her mother was with her as you state, why was her body not discovered until Sunday?  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  15:40, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Amanda Peterson's Mother Remembers Can't Buy Me Love Actress' Final Hours: "She'd Had a Wonderful Day" Her mother stated she was with her during her final hours. Because she clearly knows a detail that we don't. There's grief, but I doubt her own mother would make up shit in regards to when her own daughter died. Rusted AutoParts 15:44, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a rushed story that has a headline to grab the attention of readers.  Her mother last saw her on Friday and she is making an assumption based on when she last saw her, probably out of grief.  Or guilt because she was the last to see her alive.  Regardless, all of this is speculation until the coroner's report.  Consensus is to wait.  Like Mandruss says, if you don't like the consensus of the 4-5 editors who don't see it your way, try any another route for dispute resolution.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  15:50, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

text:  Resistance is futile! Lighten up! It's obvious that something is wrong in quite a few of the reports we're hearing. There's no way she was found on Sunday if her mother knew she died on Friday. Either her mother misspoke, the police misspoke, or the original source that quoted them got it wrong. One of the three must be incorrect, which is why we are waiting. --GoneIn60 (talk) 16:27, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Date of death 

message: For what it's worth, here is her obituary: Phyllis Amanda Peterson.  It lists the date of death as July 3, 2015.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 21:32, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition, this more recent source explains why her mother was confident that she passed away on July 3. She was found in bed apparently and had plans with the family the next day. Although July 3 is very likely the correct date based on these facts, it's still not official (e.g., there are other possible explanations for a July 4th or July 5th date). The obituary gets us closer, and we can likely use it if there's never an update released from the coroner's report, but we should probably hold out a bit longer, IMO. --GoneIn60 (talk) 21:51, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Even with her mother stating she was supposed to meet the family on Saturday, that doesn't give a time/day of death.  She could have died on Saturday or could have been sick on Saturday and didn't call or couldn't call.  If there was foul play involved (the front door was unlocked) she could have been killed on Friday or Saturday.  There's still just too much speculation here.  Nothing is certain until the coroner's report is released.  Having a specific death date is something we want once it's released, but until then, the article isn't suffering without it.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  22:51, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Sounds reasonable to me. We can always change it again if needed. At least we have a pretty reliable source at this point. --GoneIn60 (talk) 23:27, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Good job. ―Mandruss ☎ 23:46, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Obituary 

message: Thanks Mandruss. I understand the logic of leaving the info until proven otherwise.
I will continue looking into this. The name "David Hartley" is a person from Greeley, Colorado, who was killed jet-skiing between Texas and Mexico several years ago. I still suspect someone put false info on IMDB, and it was just copied from there.  I will continue seeking verification. Thanks again. Artdogs (talk) 22:21, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 10 July 2015 

message: People are correct that there is no David Hartley. And who knows if she was ever married. Variety and CBS are just pulling info from IMDB, which is not verified info. Her obit doesn't list her as survived by any children,or a spouse. Why is Wikipedia using a source from variety and CBS,when her own family that wrote her obit, stated that she was not survived by a spouse or children? 98.240.76.78 (talk) 15:06, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: May I ask how you know where Variety and CBS got their information? ―Mandruss ☎ 15:16, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  There is no David Hartley. 

message: The text incorrectly stars 'the lawless years', when it should state the 1988 movie as 'the lawless land'.
Also, there is no evidence online that she had two children. Pictures and quotes from family and friends online only state that she had one daughter, Stella. StratoBlaster (talk) 17:19, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: They are considered, by Wikipedia, to be reliable sources.  Your personal info is not verifiable for Wikipedia purposes and is considered original research.  We cannot allow or accept original research.  Numerous reliable sources state she has had two children with her second husband.  That is good enough for us to include as content.

thread_title:  Incorrect info 

message: This article is a disgrace. Amanda Peterson was raped as a child, was clearly traumatized and never got over it.  This article recites all of her arrests and drug issues without giving proper context. Fielding99 (talk) 05:10, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
