Thanks for drafting this article, I'm not sure if Yeakey is notable enough. So for now I've made Terrance Yeakey a redirect to the main Oklahoma_City_bombing page. Jonpatterns ( talk) 18:47, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
The debate surrounding Yeakey's death is relevant on it's own and leads to conclusions regarding the OkC bombing as a whole amongst other subjects. I propose to remove the redirection to OkC bombing due to these reasons. -- Samwolfe ( talk) 16:42, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Biased and conspiratorial tone in article. Not necessary for me to elaborate a large amount—article clearly attempts to implicate the American federal government in Oklahoma bombing attack. Total lack of reputable sources. Article needs total rewrite or even deletion. 206.55.177.124 ( talk) 23:33, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Does this biographical article overemphasize a fringe theory and rely excessively on sources that promote conspiracy theories? Our relevant
content guideline declares: the term fringe theory is used in a very broad sense to describe an idea that departs significantly from prevailing views or mainstream views ... a Wikipedia article should not make a fringe theory appear more notable or more widely accepted than it is ... examples include conspiracy theories.
By presenting opposing narratives as if the Alternative were more plausible than the Official, this article tests the limits of
WP:WEIGHT.

No. The extreme circumstances of Yeakeys death and immediate classification as a suicide by authorities lends credence to alternative theories. Theories of federal involvement are both notable and widely accepted. 65.25.172.12 ( talk) 01:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
Keep or delete the article, but all of the hysterical fringe stuff needs to be kept out of the article. One person, User:Samwolfe, keeps adding it, but it should be removed and kept out. All of it comes from two totally unreliable sources. One is a book from a publisher, Skyhorse Publishing, which has published 35 titles about JFK assassination, mostly conspiracy theories. The book's author, Donald Jeffries, has promoted JFK conspiracies since the mid-1970s according to his own author blurb. His blog posts are full of “9/11 false flag” and “Mafia-style voter fraud that permeated the 2020 presidential election” [1] and COVID 19 is a “a plandemic” being “artificially exaggerated” so that “our economy, and social interaction itself, is being purposefully ruined.” [2] The other source is a film full of “details” not found anywhere else, produced by Free Mind Films which is “dedicated to speaking truth to power and exposing the web of corruption and illicit control that engulfs our lives and impedes our progress as human beings.” [3] Those are the sources. There is absolutely nothing there that a fact-based encyclopedia should publish. We should actively keep it out, and I will delete the latest addition of it while we discuss. -- MelanieN ( talk) 03:12, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
I think there should definitely be a "Conspiracy theories" section. natemup ( talk) 09:39, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
