text: Because the inquest hasn't been held yet.  Sources report apparent suicide.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:30, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

text: Then that's what should be in the article. If we report he was hanged but don't say it was suicide (or it is being reported as suicide) then that suggests he was murdered. Which is incorrect. Adam4267 (talk) 15:14, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Death 

message: In the sentence, "Both the FIFA and Welsh flags at FIFA's headquarters were at half mast as a mark of respect," the word "mast" should be changed to "staff" as a mast is to be found on a ship whereas a staff refers to a flag pole on land.

message: Please consider adding:
On Tuesday, November 29, two days after Gary Speed's death, the club he signed for as a boy and with whom he won the old English Second Division and First Division titles, Leeds United, played away to Nottingham Forest in a Championship League game.  In the 11th minute, symbolising the number shirt Gary Speed wore for Leeds, Leeds fans began signing "Oh Gary Gary, Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary Speed" for 11 minutes.  As they copncluded their signing, Robert Snodgrass scored the first goal for Leeds in what would go on to be a 4-0 victory.  It was reported after the game that Glyn Snodin, on the current Leeds coaching staff and a former teammate of Gary Speed, gave the team stirring speech about Gary Speed that insired a terrific display by the team.  http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20111130/a-fitting-tribute-for-gary_2247585_2532655  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.133.205.93 (talk) 15:19, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: While maybe not writing it in the exact way you have done there. I think other tributes, especially those of his former clubs, should be added. Adam4267 (talk) 15:36, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole tributes section seems to be fairly excessive in my opinion, and the level of detail in the IP's suggestion reflects this. I appreciate it's a recent event and he was someone that few people appeared to dislike, but detailing every tribute from every person who was remotely associated with him seems overboard for an encylopeadia. BulbaThor (talk) 22:42, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

text: There has been a lot of tributes and a huge amount of media coverage on it. But maybe it is excessive? I personally think it is ok and that there is nothing wrong with expanding it a bit more for, Leeds & Newcastle's tributes etc. But if other people think it's too excessive then it may well be.

message: I disagree that he is best known for his spell at Newcastle. He made more appearances, scored more goals while he was at Leeds. He also played in a side that won the league at Leeds  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.254.146.140 (talk) 12:54, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
