Barcroft Boake (poet)
- ... that Barcroft Boake, author of one of Australia's most anthologised poems, hanged himself with a stockwhip a few months after it was published? Source: for death/timing, ADB; for most anthologised, journal article (paywalled): "Barcroft Boake is the exemplar of the signature poem phenomenon. His poem 'Where the Dead Men Lie' has appeared twelve times [n.b.: second-most behind 'Five Bells']. This poem accounts for Boake’s inclusion in most anthologies; excluding this poem, Boake has had only four other poems anthologised"

Anyone running a double check for copyvio should note that two copy/paste sentences are from a website that itself copied from the article/mirror site, so the check is a false positive. Waiting on QPQ. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 00:27, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

@MaxnaCarta and ITBF: I think we need a source for the suicide claim. Right now the claim is sourced to he was found hanging and the coroner will have an inquest. Bruxton (talk) 22:37, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Bruxton: Thank you for pinging me. I do see your point of view in that, trictly speaking, the source does not confirm beyond a doubt that it was suicide. I, however, consider the source fine to substantiate suicide. A compromise could be @ITBF: changing the wording to "reported suicide"? "Reportedly hanged himself". Or "presumed to have hanged himself"? Dunno. We are not talking about a tabloid claiming something rumoured about a celebrity here; it seems fairly credible. I reckon it's adequately sourced. ITBF, maybe try to substantiate the claim further to avoid us getting off track here. Cheers — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:36, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
