Talk:Suicide of Kevin Whitrick

message: This page should be deleted. Kevin was never the type of man to have things such as this floating around on the net and kept himself to himself. Please remove as this disturbs me and upsets me and a lot of other fellow friends and family.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.207.62.210 (talk) 15:36, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I've got a picture of him hanging himself. Should I upload it and put it on the article?  Floaterfluss  (talk) (contribs)   14:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I recommend against it. There's no need to post such graphic content. Presumably at least one of the links cited will have this image since it's pretty widespread. 23skidoo 18:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

text: The picture would qualify as fair use because it captures exactly why he is notable and on this project in the first place. I say upload it. Christopher Connor 16:28, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed in Brandon Vedas, we list a number of cases including this one with similar aspects. I'm pretty sure there have been cases when people have seriously said they wanted to commit suicide on the internet and people have taken them seriously enough to call the police who got there in time to save the person. While such stories don't tend to gain as much media attention, I'm pretty sure I've read about at least one which has receive attention probably enought to establish notability IMHO (this was possibly on 4chan or some other forum). We probably should have articles of these for balance Nil Einne 19:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A case  of a suicide over the internet where people did try to stop the person (but failed). There was an article once that got deleted due to notability concerns. Can't say for sure that it does meet notability but thought I'd bring it to the attention of editors Nil Einne 19:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  OT but 

message: I don't really see why this article is semiprotected. It has very little content, it's about a not very notable event, and it hasn't really been vandalized a lot. Isn't semiprotection for high quality articles that have a lot to lose from being vandalized? Small stubs like this should be open to improvement by everyone.--Mars2035 23:20, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The article states, "At the time of his death, he was married to his former wife...".
What does this mean?  If someone is your wife, you are definition married to them.  If they are your former wife, you are not married to them.
Is it trying to say that he was estranged from his wife?

message: I suggest we keep the list of similar incidents since these do have some notability or virality on the Internet. Any objections?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam the speed fighter (talk • contribs) 19:10, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
