Neutrality's removal of sources of people who commented about the Event[edit]

Let's put aside for the moment the dismissal of a Penn State U. link... The content of the articles written is not what gives veracity to the statement that the outrage was national, it's the mere existence of these articles, that lends veracity. Mowster (talk) 20:39, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Call for sources for Recent Edits[edit]

Released audio recordings from the 9-1-1 dispatch center, some of which were included in the documentary, confirm many of the edits that User:Kind_Tennis_Fan reversed. Material just needs to be verifiable, not endlessly cited ad naseum. Mowster (talk) 00:19, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... the event made international and national headlines, and was covered exclusively on CNN and FOX NEWS television, as well as other outlets.

With the Kitty Genovese story debunked, Zack's death stands as a genuine example of the bystander effect.

The claim of significance is credible, and is supported with verifiable citations. Per A7, it deserves to NOT be deleted.

"If the claim of significance is credible, the A7 tag can not be applied, even if the claim does not meet the notability guidelines. Topics that seemed non-notable to new page patrollers have often been shown to be notable in deletion discussions."
