Having been added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List he has perverse notability, but it is notability nonetheless.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbrower2a ( talk • contribs) Well hey, that's just great that there is no picture. Gee simple simon, where do you think you might get one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:AF80:5EE:B8D0:9B6D:EF3:DFDA ( talk) 06:18, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
News reports say that Frein attended "Pocono Mountain High School". Does anyone know if that is Pocono Mountain West High School or Pocono Mountain East High School? (Public schools change names or merge with other schools sometimes). 12.30.109.2 ( talk) 06:02, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
It was Pocono Mountain when he attended as the school district did not split until years afterwards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.39.114 ( talk) 00:00, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Contrary to the reports of the major media Eric Matthew Frein was never an Eagle Scout. Feel free to contact the Boy Scouts of America for proof 1-972-580-2000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:A500:2A1:BC02:9F3E:FD2E:731F ( talk) 18:26, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
The infobox states "Currently A Top Ten Fugitive". I assume that can be removed? Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 00:16, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move the page, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 03:56, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Eric Matthew Frein → Eric Frein – There is renewed media attention just now due to Frein being apprehended, and current news stories seem to prefer just "Eric Frein" to refer to him. The proposed title already redirects here, and there is not another notable Eric Frein who might be confused with this article's subject. There is a well-known journalistic tendency to refer to fugitives from justice by their full name, but once the usage in sources has shifted, we should match them rather than have an unexpected page title. 209.211.131.181 ( talk) 02:34, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
In the Capture section, it states: "He was arrested without incident but was placed in handcuffs during his arrest." Is there any reason why the handcuffs are mentioned? Isn't every single person arrested in the USA always placed in handcuffs (especially so, suspected murderers)? Why is this significant? Also, the use of the word "but" in that sentence is improper. It implies that an arrested person would not normally be handcuffed. Thoughts? Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 16:49, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Enough. I do not think we should try to decode hidden messages in reporters' articles. As I said, until you can find a source that clearly and unambiguously states he was assaulted by US Marshals, Pennsylvania State Troopers or any other LEOs, we will not state so in the article. Dwpaul Talk 01:50, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
There is a clear consensus against merging Eric Frein into 2014 Pennsylvania State Police barracks attack. Editors cited two reasons to oppose the merge. First, the subject was on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. Second, the subject, the trial, and the crime are receiving continued coverage. Cunard ( talk) 05:40, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
I suggest this article be merged into 2014 Pennsylvania State Police barracks attack, given the recent AfD discussion for that article. Parsley Man ( talk) 20:11, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
I think this is somewhat analogous to the Aurora, Colorado theater massacre which also has an article for James Holmes (mass murderer) or Eric Rudolph and the Centennial Olympic Park bombing. The case garnered a lot of attention and his inclusion on the most wanted list I think makes it lean towards keeping them separate. TonyBallioni ( talk) 16:59, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
