Could somebody just write his DOB? Luka Jačov 23:36, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

A newspaper article gives his age as 59 in November 2004. So I've given an approximate birth year of 1945 and a link to the article. Rocksong 02:04, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Well he hasn't aged because the latest newspaper article (January 2006) still has his age as 59. I'll give the link: [1] but it'll go dead in a week or so. Rocksong 00:09, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

It is premature to merge the two articles in question. The crimes linked with the murder of Richard Kelvin, and von Einem's conviction of this single crime remain too ambiguous.

merger of Alan Barnes

I've merged the Richard Kelvin article into this as the tag had been there for a long while and have just tagged Alan Barnes for the same treatment. Any objections to the merger ( which'll probably just add a sentence to the article under the "other murders" section ) ? Peripitus (Talk) 09:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

It seems a little disrespectful that the victims of this man should only be mentioned as a sub section of a page on him. I think it would be more appropriately handled to mention the names of his victims on the page with links to a seperate pages where the deceased individuals would have a page in their own right IMHO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbr21 (talk • contribs) 12:21, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Cause of Richard Kelvin's death

'most probably' or 'certainly', but not 'most certainly', please. I suspect it's the former, but because I don't know, I haven't changed it. Lovingboth (talk) 16:03, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

A Serial Killer?

Had von Einem's victims been adult, he would probably be described as a serial killer because they occurred over a long time period and involved the same method of killing. The fact that his victims were children should not alter in any way my opinion that he be described as a serial killer. --One Salient Oversight (talk) 04:43, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

The subtitle says "accountant", amazingly. Grassynoel (talk) 14:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Richard Dallas Kelvin

All the way through this article Richard Kelvin is referred to as Kelvin. I think this does the boy a disservice and I am going to change all the references to him to either Richard or Richard Kelvin. The boy is a victim and referring to him by just his surname is very impersonal. SpencerCollins (talk) 08:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, but I think you should change it to 'Richie' instead, or maybe 'Ol' Richie Boy,' makes it sound even more personal-like. --Breshkovsky (talk) 22:06, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
