One person gets to decide this isn't notable? I was willing to accept that at first and I went to the church own article, since there is a major counter-protest planned and the article has its own section on those.
I still have the radio on from Car Talk and I just heard an NPR reporter say "Elizabeth Edwards is a resident of Hell". (I just saw a columnist who says essentially that Fred Phelps will get to find that out firsthand.) And that she didn't ask God to cure her cancer (Oh, come now! She must have.) The article I just saw online said she was tolerant of gays; I can't remember now if NPR said that.
If NPR went into that much detail don't you think we're entitled to something here? If not, the Westboro article has it. For now. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:13, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
← I reinstated mention of the protest, as it made no sense to talk only about a counterprotest without context, and the coverage of the Westboro threat was extensive before the funeral. But the details are unnecessary, given the fact that the threat was never realized. And no way this warrants anything more than a mention - in fact we might revisit this in a while to see if it remains notable. Tvoz/ talk 08:42, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
It does not seem very encyclopedic to term the church a "hate-group" because they oppose gay marriage. We may not agree with their views or tactics, but it seems childish and desperate to throw sticks and stones. Their actions should speak for themselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.85.141 ( talk) 13:07, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
The article mentions she died of breast cancer but it doesn't give a suspected cause. I don't follow articles about her very much so I don't know the answer to this question, but doesn't fertility treatment run a risk of increased breast cancer??? If so, then wasn't her breast cancer possibly self-induced? I'm not a doctor - I don't know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.161.38.27 ( talk) 06:55, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
