- I think ALT3 needs to say who said this, as we don't explain it. Does [42] really say that those two sportspeople are fans? I'm not sure about [43] either, and the Oliva Munn thing was because she was attacked? The first para is too bitty, needs longer sentences. It's hard thing to cite as all the sources who write about this will be trivial. Is saying 'go die in a hole' a death threat? 38 and 40 are the same incident with the same text - you are overstating this. One ref for the other death threat just refers to the incident written up by the other one - which was a tweet. Wikipedia:BLPGOSSIP#Avoid_gossip_and_feedback_loops says that we shouldn't use gossip, I think some of your references cross over into that as they are the celebrity gossip columns of newspapers.
