Selected Statements by Assange
1) "It’s, I think, interesting and acceptable to speculate who our sources are. But if we’re talking about the DNC, there’s lots of consultants that have access, lots of programmers."<ref>http://www.inquisitr.com/3400412/was-seth-rich-assassinated-wikileaks-posts-reward-in-murder-case-some-speculate-rich-was-dnc-leaker/#mJIikLwBByFOMhuv.99</ref>

2) Julian Assange was interviewed for the Dutch television program Nieuwsuur by Twan Huys. Selected statements, in chronological order (omitting vocal pauses) are quoted below. A = Julian Assange; H = Twan Huys.
A: "We have a lot of material related to the . . . DNC."
A: "We never discuss sources ruling them out, ruling them in, . . . ."
H: " . . . , does it matter that the source of these emails . . . is most likely from . . . , Russia . . . ?
A: "Well, that's false."
A: “Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks. As a 27-year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington, . . . .”
H: “That was just a robbery, I believe. Wasn’t it?”
A: “No, there’s no finding … I’m suggesting that our sources, take risks.”
H: "But was he one of your sources then?"
A: "We don't comment on who our sources are."
H: “Then why make the suggestion about a young guy being shot in the streets of Washington?”
A: “Because we have to understand how high the stakes are in the United States, and that our sources face serious risks. That’s why they come to us. So we can protect their anonymity.”
H: ". . . to suggest a murder, that's basically what you are doing."
A: ". . . others have suggested that. We are investigating . . . with Seth Rich. . . . there's not a conclusion yet."
A: "We are concerned about it, and more importantly, a variety of WikiLeaks sources are concerned when that kind of thing happens."
Soon after that interview on Twitter Wikileaks posted "a $20,000 reward for information leading to conviction for the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich."<ref>http://nos.nl/nieuwsuur/artikel/2124316-assange-belooft-nieuwe-onthullingen-over-clinton.html?title=assange-belooft-nieuwe-onthullingen-over-clinton</ref>

The same named article on the "Wickedpedia" has a ''motion to delete'' template on it, delete on grounds of not being notable. It is so allegedly unnotable that a strong debate has been generated there on the talk page and on the Delete Articles section, where editors are essentially "voting" to Delete vs. Keep, allegedly on the grounds of non-notability.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Murder_of_Seth_Rich</ref>
