[edit] Terribly Written

This article is terribly written, and seems to assume prior knowledge of the "to catch a predator" incident. I just learned about the incident, and after reading this article it still isn't clear to me what went on, or why this man committed suicide. Could someone who knows about the incident touch this up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.14.57.35 (talk) 13:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Afd

If you think I shouldnt take this to deletion please give your reasons here, SqueakBox 05:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe the guidelines are posted at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

To quote from the nutshell: A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

Louis Conradt is dead, so virtually all of the coverage given to him is secondary and independent of him. His death has been covered by esteemed journalistic sources as the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and numerous regional Texas papers.

He is significant, as his death has launched a $105 million lawsuit against NBC, a major news corporation. Also, the arm of another major news copration, ABC News, is investigating NBC's handling of the Conradt incident.

Conradt is a key milestone in an extremely popular TV show, which itself is a spinoff of another significant news show (Dateline)

What else do you need?

On another note, is your question related to the Von Erck article or the Conradt article? I'm confused by your note in your apparent deletion of the Von Erck article. I'll start a discussion thread there.Fargobottom 05:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Please, SqueakBox 05:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Of course the page should be deleted... it shows the abusive and unethical methods of Dateline and PJ... and we can't have that, now, can we? People may read true articles about true events and make their own conclusions! Gasp! The Travesty!!!

Well I don't think so any more, perhaps I had underestimated his notability in the US, but actually IMO this article reflects PJ and NBC Dateline in a positive light, its the chap who gets seen in a rather negative light, and perhaps it can't be easy for his family to have this article here. Thanks, SqueakBox 23:31, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Good to hear. I think the article reflects Dateline and PJ and the chap. Positive, negative, that's for the reader to decide. That's a really neat thing I noticed about this article, it's pretty neutral and, after I fixed some of the linkings and inlines, pretty well referenced. It does rely a bit on the Esquire Magazine news story a little heavily and could use some additional sources (hence the Refimprove tag), but overall not too shabby, eh? • VigilancePrime • • • 01:59 (UTC) 20 Mar '08
