The section about Totalbiscuit's cancer, while warranted, is way too large and takes up an unusual amount of space that isn't consistent with other wikipedia articles. Auror Andrachome (talk) 20:09, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

I agree. I'll look into trimming it down significantly. Elassint ^Hi 03:35, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

I was wondering why his stepson Orion is mentioned but that there is no mention of Genna Bain his wife? TheReadingChair (talk) 21:09, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean, I find his wife mentioned several times. Elassint ^Hi 00:28, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

You are right, I don't know why I rushed to make a discussion instead of reading the article. TheReadingChair (talk) 22:47, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding his death without a proper source. While it's unlikely his wife would lie on her Twitter, a better source than a Twitter post is needed to report on someone's death since there have been false reports like that. Just wait a bit. Prinsgezinde (talk) 23:11, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

It seems odd to reject twitter as a source but accept games sites, which will just use twitter in turn as a source. --Ruyter talk 23:30, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

I kind of agree, these news sites don't have any other source and are only just using the Twitter. If the death was falsely reported on the Twitter then the news article would be wrong too. --Chengary88 (talk) 00:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Bigger news sites usually do extra research to make sure they're not wrong. A website like BBC would not report on a death without some more insurance. It's simple though, Wikipedia doesn't break news. Prinsgezinde (talk) 11:57, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

BBC are the folks who used the Halo UNSC logo for the UN instead of the real one. I don't think they put in very much effort into researching their sources. Ikmxx (talk) 23:46, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

User:Magitroopa, you keep adding Twitter as a source when it's not. Use the now readily available other articles instead. News articles usually check their facts. Prinsgezinde (talk) 23:31, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

It's the official Twitter, it's a source. It is the verified account. Also doesn't mean you need to keep removing the Death section. Magitroopa (talk) 23:32, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Deaths require more than borderline reliable sources. What if her account was hacked? Unlikely, but deaths are often falsely reported. Now that we know he's dead we can instead use the more reliable news articles instead. There is no reason to use the twitter. Prinsgezinde (talk) 23:35, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

We need to replace a LOT of the primary sources in this article. --Masem (t) 23:38, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

So many sources are reporting his death, not sure why this is controversial. Alssa1 (talk) 09:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Articles appeared fairly quickly, but between around 23:00 and 23:30 the only source anyone had was her Twitter. Prinsgezinde (talk) 14:26, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Replaced with BBC article. Sincerely, Marksomnian. (talk) 13:14, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

The tweet that announced his passing in his account could be added a source in the line that tells the day he died. https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/999787845127634944 Maracutaia EDIT: Actually, submitted before reading the discussion, my bad.

@Maracutaia: Twitter is not a reliable source, and the relevant news of TB's passing is now being disseminated by proper media outlets. This will quickly result in reliable sources being generated that we can then cite.--SamHolt6 (talk) 03:07, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Sam Sailor 11:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Doctors pronounce death. Social media /announces/ it. 90.152.127.174 (talk) 09:38, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

2007-it is covered in the warframe plains of eidelon youtube video during the intro if the wiki editors need sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.216.246 (talk) 20:33, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
