removed material[edit]

I have removed this material because it is lacking a source, nor can I find any source indicating this by Google search. Bus stop (talk) 21:20, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your comment a few hours ago. I had no problem finding the source. I've re-added the info. But the report I read did not mention a drunk driver, so I removed that part.--Tdadamemd sioz (talk) 01:57, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dead[edit]

Dead according to this. I believe it is real, but we have to wait for official sources. --Folengo (talk) 14:25, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Several people (some reputable, such as Emily Lakdawala who retweeted Geoff Notkin: [1]) are saying the same thing on Twitter these last couple of days. -- ke4roh (talk) 13:13, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, yes, you, dear reader, for your attention to this article. WP:BDP calls for a reliable source noting the death of a person. While I don't dispute the validity of these reports for the purpose of my personal understanding of Mr. Bopp's vitality, it is another thing entirely for one of the world's most-visited web sites to publish incorrect information about a person who may still be alive. If you believe we have already produced reliable sources, then please make that case. If you find another reliable source, then please bring it forward and cite your sources when making edits to the page. -- ke4roh (talk) 19:21, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
