Death

I've cleaned up a sloppily formatted summary of Adenhart's death and added a TMZ reference. I don't recall if TMZ meets WP:RS guidelines, but if not, there should be reports from media outlets shortly to replace the reference with. 71.103.106.177 (talk) 15:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's appropriate to include since they broke the news, and other outlets are reporting it so I'll add them as confirmation. --Muboshgu (talk) 15:58, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Annnd...it just hit Yahoo's front page. Be prepared for a ton of well-meaning but POV-laden edits to hit this article. I'm watchlisting, but I'm headed to school right now so I'm not sure how much I can do. hbdragon88 (talk) 16:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on it, too. I've already reverted some non-well meaning vandalism as well as well-meaning attempts to take Adenhart's name off the roster, even though the Angels haven't yet removed him from their roster.--Muboshgu (talk) 17:12, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He wasn't "killed slightly after midnight." The accident occurred at 12:23 am local time -- he died much later in the hospital.

title of article

Why is the article title Nick Adenhart? Instead why don't we change the article title to Nicholas Adenhart, and then redirect Nick Adenhart to Nicholas Adenhart? Griffinofwales (talk) 18:27, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NC and in particular Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people)#Nicknames, pen names, stage_names, cognomens state to use the common name. AFAIK he was known in the baseball world as Nick. As another example, Mike Scioscia is titled as "Mike", even though his actual full name is "Michael." KuyaBriBri^Talk 18:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Appropriate?

Would it be appropriate to add a "See also" section with a link to Lyman Bostock? Bostock had just turned his career around with the Angels in 1978 when his life was cut short.

Proposed text is: "Lyman Bostock – Angels outfielder killed during the 1978 season" KuyaBriBri^Talk 21:38, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My first reaction would be that it would not be appropriate because their relation is rather tenuous. They died in completely different circumstances and didn't know each other. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:42, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it's not appropriate. Besides, they are both categorized together.--Muboshgu (talk) 22:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
