:Possibly in 2004, but in 2009, the article needs to be checked for neutrality. [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 11:18, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

==Death==
For some reason the "death_date" template does not seem to work, can anyone figure out how to do this?<br> ie. | death_date = {{death date and age|2010|11|02|1974|11|2|df=y}} Typical!

::I thought there wasn't a "death" part of the template... [[Template:Infobox Surfer]] doesn't list "death_date" or "death_place" as something that could be added to the template. That's why I improvised :P --[[User:Andyman1125|Andy]] ([[User talk:Andyman1125|talk]]) 02:38, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

== Pharmacological substances at time of death ==

Can we all agree to not allow additions of rumors regarding methadone and other meds at the time of death until there is definitive information? It's really not fair to his reputation and his family until an official report is out. Who's on board with this? --[[User:Travisthurston|<b style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; color:#99ccff; font-size:small;">Travis Thurston</b>]]<b style="color:#000000;">+</b> 22:36, 5 November 2010

:why the big secret about his drug addicion and the possability of him over dosing? drugs aren't cool... and they kill people. pj

::Because this is not the place for "possibilities". Obviously we don't want [[wp:or|unverified]] or [[wp:rs|unreliable sources]] contributing to the section until the definitive cause is determined. --[[User:Travisthurston|<b style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; color:#99ccff; font-size:small;">Travis Thurston</b>]]<b style="color:#000000;">+</b> 06:52, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

==Dallas?==
I know everybody thinks that Dallas-Fort Worth Airport is in Dallas, but it's not. It's not even in Dallas County - it's in Grapevine, in Tarrant County, which is why the Tarrant County Medical Examiner is involved in this case.[[User:Benami|Benami]] ([[User talk:Benami|talk]]) 00:11, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

== Cause of Death ==

I propose to reduce the text on the cause of death as it is known with certainty the final autopsy. http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/andy-irons-autopsy-analysis-released_56519/  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Realxsalo|Realxsalo]] ([[User talk:Realxsalo|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Realxsalo|contribs]]) 23:27, 9 June 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:I agree that the article was too heavily weighted towards the death of Irons, so I think the revised information is more appropriate.  Thank you for discussing this on the talk page.  A lot of material was being removed without the use of edit summaries so one didn't know the reason for the changes.  That being said, I think a more [[WP:RS|reliable source]] than Surfline should be used.  Thanks, [[User:72Dino|72Dino]] ([[User talk:72Dino|talk]]) 00:01, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
