In no way should this fork stand on its own as an article. This isn't exactly a POV fork, but it certainly suggests that we're a fansite. Who else has a separate article on their death--it's not exactly Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Drmies ( talk) 05:04, 23 January 2011 (UTC) reply
What the creator has done is cull every single detail, about the helicopters, the weathers, the pilots, the very clothes that the occupants were wearing, verify it, and stick it in the article. Then, they forked it out. But that there is an overwhelming number of verified minutia does not mean the topic is remarkable.
Finally, look at the references and the bibliography. (Disregard everything after note 24--that's stuff copied from the main article and much of it is directed to his life, not to his death: Ann Richards proclaimed his birthday SRV day, not the day of his death.) You'll notice that except for that one book about "Falling stars" there is nothing there that actually addresses his death other than a news event. They're newspapers, they're obituaries, they're books about him and his music. That's obviously not so for Kurt Cobain, for instance. Where is the book that discusses his death as an independent topic? "Well-sourced"--of course; SRV was well covered, and so his death was as well. But his death, as sad as it was (and I remember what I was doing when I read the news), is not an independent topic. Drmies ( talk) 14:50, 23 January 2011 (UTC) reply
