[edit] 'No Date Given' Contradiction

The entry on the Bodom murders is located under the "No Date Given" header - the Wikipedia article the link points to, however, gives a very clear date for the murders. Slip, or intentional? Mip | Talk 18:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A similar Wiki Category

Wikipedia also has the similar category called, "Category:Cause of death disputed." A cursory examination (my "original research") revealed that several people in this "unsolved murders and deaths" list are also in the Wiki-Category "Cause of death disputed." Perhaps we should link or connect these two similar areas. ProfessorPaul 03:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] redlinks

Should the redlinks really be in here? If they have no article, is it really a notable murder? Thousands of these things happen a year. Chris 04:45, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

The Zurab Zhvania article makes absolutely no mention of any sort of controversy or foul play in his death and the cause has been easily determined. I'm going to remove it from this list.--Theloniouszen 05:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

A number of these deaths fall into a category for conspiracy theorists. There has been no proof about people such as Joseph Stalin and Pope John Paul I, so why make this look like some gossip rag?

I am going to be bold and clean up this article, removing all conspiracy theories and hoaxes. Bearian 16:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. Also, I removed all red links as NN murders and deaths. Bearian 17:23, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested addition

I would suggest adding the murder of Dian Fossey <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Fossey>

and possibly Thomas Ince...

and Carl Switzer (Alfalfa)...
