Untitled[edit]

Never seen this guy referred to as anything but "Peter Whittingham". Definitely not in any print media, such as newspapers and the team sheet on Villa's matchday programme. Move to Peter?

Argee Move back to Peter.

May be a big joke to move to Pete. Matthew_hk t c 14:16, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rumoured death[edit]

Neither the BBC nor Cardiff City Football Club have any confirmation of this story as yet. ^[1], ^[2] Culloty82 (talk) 17:40, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He is confirmed dead OneTwoThreeYeet (talk) 18:13, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a source? Mattythewhite (talk) 18:18, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

His former teammate (Chopra) apppears to be the only semi-reliable source. Nothing officially confirmed yet, though. It seems a little bizarre. Let's wait and see. https://twitter.com/MichaelChopra/status/1239971377068642306

Michael Chopra on Twitter is not enough for the "Rumoured death" to be reliable. When there is news from news websites (which is cluttered with CV-19), that would be reliable enough. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 19:05, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So a minor diaspora^{[clarification needed]} newspaper in Spain knows this, but BBC Sport's Cardiff City page doesn't, nor does Cardiff City FC's official channels? 2A00:23C5:E187:5F00:A121:F6B1:502B:6CB1 (talk) 20:02, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not confirmed by any news media, possibly a hoax: https://twitter.com/TheSecondTier/status/1239988541649760257 Badmotorfinger (talk) 22:36, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He is in hospital "fighting for his life" so whatever Michael Chopra, euroweeklynews.com and Wikipedia user OneTwoThreeYeet said is factually incorrect. They hope for a speedy recovery. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:44, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re above, sources now have the news that he passed away. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 18:58, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
