There was a song about Albert Fish by steampianist. Perhaps include it in the popular culture section. YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0yo8BREgD0 75.135.172.96 ( talk) 22:38, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Had a similar "well that's a bit much" reaction, but it's not about censorship; it's about WP:WEIGHT and MOS:QUOTE. Wikipedia articles summarize the available sources, using direct quotes sparingly.

It seems like it's just because of how lurid they are, which isn't a good reason to include. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 02:16, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
Alberts first victim's last name was Kedden. The papers mispelled it when he went missing 2603:7080:9342:3C00:AD6A:33E1:86B3:1C45 ( talk) 10:27, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Fish’s mothers age is absurd and not mathematically sound in this article. Please facilitate a change for accuracy. 68.68.91.10 ( talk) 15:37, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
