Photo of garage meeting spot
Hey, so I just visited the spot in the parking garage where Deep Throat met Woodward. Got a photo, too. So now I'm wondering: do people think it would be a nice addition to add a small photo near the appropriate section? --Qwerty0 (talk) 03:58, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

- Absolutely, please post it. Vidor (talk) 17:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
Jewish
Well was he? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beeerlife (talk • contribs) 19:12, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
- Short answer is no. Even if the Composite Character theory is to be completely believed I don't think any of the currently suspected 'other' individuals that make up Deep Throat are Jewish, and I'm fairly certain Mark Felt was not (he was married by a chaplain, not to mention being very successful in Hoover's FBI...). However, there is still the possibility that, if the composite character theory is true, one or more of the individuals who spoke to Bob Woodward and whose information would later be attributed to Deep Throat were Jewish. It would all be speculation at best, however. (Morethan3words | talk) 15:06, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Fiction/Metal Gear Solid
In Metal Gear Solid 2, the "informant" who provided you with information, and who was "neither friend nor foe" was named Deep Throat (until the identity is later revealed, but still)
Is this worthy of being mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.133.25 (talk) 23:55, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
Deep Throat
I read the article, and was unable to find Deep Throat's famous quote "It's the money, just always follow the money". I thought this to be significant, not only for this subject, but for many subjects where money seems to do all the talking. Chase c ryder (talk) 20:33, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- If I recall correctly, that quote comes from the character Deep Throat in the movie adaptation of All the President's Men, and is not something that is actually attributed to any of Woodward's sources. I could be wrong about that, so it might be good if someone with access to the book could double-check that. (Morethan3words | talk) 05:54, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Candidates
Should section headlines really be titled "More credible candidates" and "Less credible candidates"? It seems to violate NPOV, and OR for candidates without references. Also, why does Fred Fielding have a section devoted to him alone? It might just be best to group all the false candidates together since Felt (or a composite if you believe that) was Deep Throat.108.207.39.63 (talk) 10:55, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Merger proposal
I propose that Deep Throat (Watergate) be merged into Mark Felt. I think that the content in the Deep Throat (Watergate) article can easily be explained in the context of Mark Felt, and the Mark Felt article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Deep Throat (Watergate) will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.
