Title: Aretha Franklin just died and a story about her reached #1 on HN this morning before being removed (edit: looks like mods revived it and removed this post :D): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17774698<p>When other celebrities die the post stays up. For example, this story about Anthony Bourdain&#x27;s death wasn&#x27;t taken down
https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17264376<p>Aretha Franklin has had a much broader impact on culture (and I say that as a fan of them both) and if a post reaches #1 it&#x27;s hard to make the case the story isn&#x27;t relevant to the community.<p>Why the double standard?
