UCF

for some reason the idiots at ESPN seem to think he went to Central Florida — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.25.74.93 (talk) 06:40, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nickname

A cursory Google search seems to reveal that the nickname was not commonly used to refer to the player in sources, and all sources containing the nickname say that it is a childhood nickname, which does not seem to me to warrant adding it to the player's full name in the article. For this reason I have removed it for now. M. Caecilius (talk) 05:56, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2015 Pro Bowl

Demaryius Thomas was named as an alternate to the 2015 Pro Bowl and would have attended if he were not playing the Super Bowl. Because he declined to play because he was in the Super Bowl, the NFL retroactively awarded him 2015 Pro Bowl honors in 2016. See links below:

This person has passed away and this page should be updated 76.65.19.26 (talk) 04:18, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Death Rumors

There have been some rumors passed around about his death that have not been confirmed by any news outlets. If it has been confirmed, please edit accordingly. Jacksonisamazin (talk) 04:20, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Does https://sportsnaut.com/demaryius-thomas-dead-at-33 help? Apparently https://twitter.com/MilesGarrettTV/status/1469157148668092423 is a fairly big deal (no clue when it comes to sportsball I'm afraid) -- TNT (talk • she/they) 04:27, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No tweet or article sourced to tweets, by Allbright or anyone else, is a reliable source for declaring someone dead. Period. Wait until a respected media source reports it, sourced to something other than this same set of tweets (i.e., a family or NFL statement). General Ization ^Talk 04:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We've (sadly) got a reputable source. Denver local news now reporting it as confirmed. The Kip (talk) 04:37, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We have a reputable outlet. However, if you click on the links to their sources, they're the same two tweets. I still say we should wait until major publishers verify the facts. SI, for example, still has nothing. General Ization ^Talk 04:42, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Death was confirmed by his High School Position coach. It’s not a news source but it’s a close source. Klacket (talk) 04:32, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed by whom, to whom and published where? We rely on reliable, published sources, not "someone who knew him said it's true." General Ization ^Talk 04:51, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TMZ has some more details on his death, but I'll leave the link here first before adding it to the article. Maybe this helps.https://www.tmz.com/2021/12/09/ex-nfl-star-demaryius-thomas-dead-denver-broncos/ Dannyyankee12_{let's talk} 04:55, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TMZ. 'nuff said. General Ization ^Talk 05:05, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough.Dannyyankee12_{let's talk} 05:06, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bleacher Report reporting now. Yes, also from a tweet, but when there's a large multitude of reporters/news orgs that have confirmed via Twitter, we can't just keep acting like "Twitter = bad." The Kip (talk) 05:17, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Given "a family member told Mike Klis of 9News in Denver on Thursday", that report is no longer solely sourced to a tweet. And yes, often, "Twitter = bad" when it comes to factual matters and especially declaring someone dead. General Ization ^Talk 05:21, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The family member report is sourced from a tweet of Klis. It doesn't matter now anyways, as the Denver Post has confirmed it.The Kip (talk) 05:25, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

there are 2 conflicting reports one says he was found dead at his home and the other is saying he died following a traffic collision. 2600:1700:BE01:EB30:716F:9D93:2887:42A (talk) 05:50, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
