OpTic Hecz Killed Paul Walker

Fair use rationale for Image:Paul walker3.jpg

Image:Paul walker3.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

HEY!se go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

removed "role"

Someone added to his filmography that he was playing Captain America in the 2009 film. There is absolutely no evidence to support this claim. Captain America has not been chosen, I haven't even heard any rumors of Paul Walker being considered. Xprivate eyex 04:55, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revision complete...

The revision to the article is complete. I have added and updated references, incorporated new information, and just moved things around so that it sounds less "fan site" and more "encyclopedia". If anyone has any issues with the revision and/or feel that I've missed something important, you can either add it in yourself or discuss it here or on my talk page. If you have a problem with any part of the revision, I would really appreciate feedback so that we can work to improve the article. Ms. Sarita (talk) 10:26, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent death

Maybe Died? November 30, 2013. Car crash. 75.134.118.244 (talk) 02:32, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Death

It appears like TMZ has indeed posted an article "Paul Walker Dead at 40 In Fiery Car Crash" which has not yet been retracted (been an hour). and jim granchi is gullible.

http://www.tmz.com/2013/11/30/paul-walker-dead-dies-car-accident-fatal-fire-crash/

Unfortunately there are currently no secondary sources to back that claim up therefore not suitable to show up on Wikipedia at such time.

A follow-up, the NY Daily News is now also reporting the story,
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/paul-walker-dies-crash-report-article-1.1533786
However, they are using TMZ as a source, thus still 1 independent source.

Death hoax

This isn't being reported by any reputable sources because it is a HOAX. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 02:47, 1 December 2013 (UTC) Not necessary. http://www.signalscv.com/section/36/article/109902/ AccrualLife (talk) 02:59, 1 December 2013 (UTC) Apparently there was a hoax floating around yesterday. Sadly he died this afternoon after the original hoax. The site your referencing, is the unreputable one. RIP Paul Walker[reply]

Read the Signal site again. No one has confirmed that it was Walker was in the car. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 03:03, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not denying that, I was just stating it is likely the hoax is a hoax, notice no reputable source has been able to verify his health and wellness, which by this time and with a hoax this big is telling.

I wasn't deny that either. I was pointing out that it's no more reliable to say it is a hoax. AccrualLife (talk) 03:22, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove Paul Walker's death date. It's a common hoax for celebrities. Your such an idiot 98.200.18.54 (talk) 03:05, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

apparent death and edit requests

He is dead I have marked all as resolved, and the request is  Not done. Walker has not been confirmed as dead by any reliable sources, and so far as I can tell, all stories currently point back to a TMZ report. This is not good enough per WP:BLP. Until any such news is confirmed, the article should not be changed. Particularly given there have been hoax reports as recently as yesterday (11/29). Resolute 03:07, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Us Weekly has confirmed, as per WPBLP, i think this confirms the news.

I'd question TMZ. As for Facebook make sure it's not a comment someone posted. NintendoFan (Talk, Contribs) 03:22, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You should probably read the comments before you comment yourself. It's his official facebook page.


You guys are really fucking sad. Maybe try to get confirmation before you ruin a guy's life. There is not a single source that actually confirms his death yet. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/fast-furious-star-paul-walker-killed-crash/story?id=21059278 216.36.9.149 (talk) 03:26, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Someone showed where the report is word-for-word exactly the same as a number of Paul Walker death hoaxes published beginning 13 years ago. I'm researching but can't find anything that confirms absolutely and verifiably one way or the other. His FB page is not necessarily authentic.Medleystudios72 (talk) 03:27, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department could not confirm the identities of the two victims nor confirm the cause of the accident.

"Authorities said they responded to the crash at about 3:30 p.m. PT in the 28300 block of Rye Canyon Loop and found the car engulfed in flames. The victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The sheriff’s department said the L.A. County Coroner’s Office would determine the victims’ identities and cause of death."

At this time the prudent thing to do is hold for 24 to 48 hours until real confirmation is obtained. The above quote is from the 'proof' link given prior. Until the coronor confirms or Paul Walker himself appears somewhere saying it's a hoax, we really are spinning wheels and wasting edits and energy. So again, I recommend applying the brakes for just a little bit and refrain from letting this turn into an edit war. Medleystudios72 (talk) 03:36, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Walker's Death a Hoax

Hate to say it, but even Wikipedia has gotten trapped into declaring Paul Walker's death. It has been revealed that he's alive and well and that he's become the victim of a hoax:
