Why Wikipedia editors have deleted entries from the “List of unusual deaths”:
“hippos are extremely dangerous and very aggressive and there is nothing unusual about hippos killing people”
“the man was working on the toilet, making his death inherently less strange than if he had been using it”
“no longer an unusual or unique occurrence” regarding impalement by beach umbrella
“being hit by multiple motorcycles in a race is not an unusual death”
“fatalities involving objects or animals being launched into oncoming traffic are considered commonplace” regarding a Canadian couple’s fatal collision with a “flying bear”
recently discovered that wikipedia volunteers have a hilariously high bar for what constitutes "unusual death"

Totally agree with this. He's a class act and I'd love to see him given a chance once we become a normal club again! #swfc

I’ve met Henrik Pedersen on a number of occasions and he comes across as a really nice guy. Clearly lives and breathes the game. I wish he was getting a go in normal circumstances. #swfc

A tourist from Barcelona was interviewed on TV Galicia yesterday during his stay in Vigo. He said he’s really enjoying the cooler temperatures - no mention of water pistols.
So we’ve found at least 1 person from Barcelona who goes on vacation like the rest of us 🔫
