Deletion of high school

Pats1, why are you deleting high school information from the Infobox NFLactive template? As I am sure you know, the high school field is built into the template. Personal preference again? C'mon, you're a WP administrator; you shouldn't be playing the personal preference reversion game. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Aaron hernandez.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

This article must be either locked, or semi-protected immediately

Given the current situation concerning Aaron Hernandez's "legal situation", I strongly suggest we protect this article to avoid the potentially libelous, and speculative, edits that are certain to appear in the coming days. If anyone has time however, we should keep the article updated with VERIFIABLE info.

Agreed - I've just deleted the new section, as it grossly misrepresented the source cited. AndyTheGrump (talk) 14:55, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is a request over at WP:RFPP, no administrator has got to it yet, however. -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:53, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To complicate the situation mainstream media reported that a warrant had been issued for his arrest, which now appears not to be the case (http://www.wpri.com/dpp/news/local_news/se_mass/north-attleboro-report-arrest-warrant-issued-for-patriots-te-aaron-hernandez). --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 16:42, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What about shooting the guy in the face?

There are references for earlier gun attacks with other people. Why aren't those mentioned? Well?
