Nick Adenhart graduated from William sport Highschool in Williamsport maryland in 2003
I've cleaned up a sloppily formatted summary of Adenhart's death and added a TMZ reference. I don't recall if TMZ meets WP:RS guidelines, but if not, there should be reports from media outlets shortly to replace the reference with. 71.103.106.177 ( talk) 15:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Annnd...it just hit Yahoo's front page. Be prepared for a ton of well-meaning but POV-laden edits to hit this article. I'm watchlisting, but I'm headed to school right now so I'm not sure how much I can do. hbdragon88 ( talk) 16:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
He wasn't "killed slightly after midnight." The accident occurred at 12:23 am local time -- he died much later in the hospital. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.28.185.199 ( talk) 06:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Why is the article title Nick Adenhart? Instead why don't we change the article title to Nicholas Adenhart, and then redirect Nick Adenhart to Nicholas Adenhart? Griffinofwales ( talk) 18:27, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate to add a "See also" section with a link to Lyman Bostock? Bostock had just turned his career around with the Angels in 1978 when his life was cut short.
Proposed text is: " Lyman Bostock – Angels outfielder killed during the 1978 season" KuyaBriBri Talk 21:38, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Consider this a plea. As long as Adenhart is still listed on the team roster, we keep him listed on the team roster. Even though he's no longer part of this mortal coil or whatever you call it, we treat this the same way we treat every other MLB transaction. Thanks. -- Muboshgu ( talk) 16:45, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Is there a specific reason why the other people involved in the accident (Adenhart's friends, the other driver) aren't mentioned, when those names are a matter of public record? If there's a logical reason for not including that, please let me know. Samer ( talk) 04:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

I don't mean to be insensitive, but this is an entry that doesn't merit Featured Article status in my opinion. A talented baseball player who had a vanishingly short career as a Major League player, and whose life ended tragically. I'm sorry, it might qualify for an American reality-TV show, but his life and career are not all that noteworthy. I'm disappointed that it was the Featured Article today. The writing is good, but not great. The story is sad, but not essential to an understanding of lives cut short in their prime. I'll stop short of calling it something worse, but the article doesn't deserve the accolades it's getting. JeffTracy ( talk) 10:13, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
On Wikipedia, it is customary to include the person's nickname in quotation marks with the person's full name in the first line of the article, especially when the nickname is used in the article title. As this article uses his nickname rather than his actual name, "Nick" should appear in quotes with his full name in the first line. Rreagan007 ( talk) 20:47, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
