John Delaney's Wikipedia vandalized to say he died at the Democratic debate

WASHINGTON – Former Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., sparred over the future of the Democratic Party at the second Democratic presidential debate in Detroit, Mich.

Some time afterward, Delaney's Wikipedia page was vandalized to say he had died at the Democratic debate at the hands of Warren. Ken Klippenstein of progressive media outlet The Young Turks noted the change, which was quickly changed back and protected from future revisions, according to Wikipedia's editing logs.
