Peter Lopez (attorney)

edit

Does a career as an attorney representing famous musicians, including seven years for Michael Jackson, give him enough notability to be listed? Jim Michael (talk) 01:59, 2 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Then that should be listed in the notice, not that he was the husband of someone notable.

Gareth Swift

edit

I removed this person (d. 25 April 2010) as non-notable but WWGB reinstated. Now his notice is linked to the Featherstone Rovers page, where he's not even mentioned. I dispute strongly that this person should even be listed, and I believe linking him to the club page attempts to make him appear more notable than he is, and to avoid a red link which would indicate he doesn't have an article of his own. I'd edit but fairly obviously my edit will be reverted so am opening discussion here instead.--Be best (talk) 04:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't know what the fuss is about. Swift had played for the Featherstone Rovers first team prior to his death [1] so an article about him would probably satisfy WP:ATHLETE anyway. As for having a "blue link", that will not stop the listing being deleted on 25 May unless he has his own article (not redirect). WWGB (talk) 05:18, 2 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Probably changed since this was posted, but "Now his notice is linked to the Featherstone Rovers page, where he's not even mentioned." is wrong as he's mentioned on the page. 87.194.86.204 (talk) 02:54, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Is this a notable death? I havent found any link to this person before the suicide attack today. --Andres arg (talk) 22:25, 5 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

If he was the suicide bomber, yes...if victim, no. You don't have articles for celebrities before they become famous, this isn't a reason for never giving them an article, if they are more notable now than they were before, they're worthy of an article, and if they're notable for their cause of death, then they're notable for addition. Of course, they're only notable if they succeed in their attempt, or fail spectacularly enough to get media coverage, and it may be "tomorrow's chip paper" and in that case he's not notable :-) 87.194.86.204 (talk) 02:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Armando Lucero

edit

Does anyone know his date of death? Argentine incest suspect Armando Lucero dies

This article states "ayer" (yesterday), meaning 5 May. WWGB (talk) 22:35, 6 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

So what's up with this? Should he be listed? I would disagree, as I don't consider I think it gives people such a recognition for what they did on their life. But we don't know anything this good about person, he was a serious rapist who had seven sons with his daughter. I remember we listed the Jessica Lunsford murderer, so I don't know whether if you all agree with my suggestion (anyway, Im not going to add/remove him). --Andres arg (talk) 02:23, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Many people have said that we shouldn't have articles about criminals, and have pointed out that the victims rarely have their own biographies. However, there is a lot of mainstream media coverage of serious criminals and their crimes, and they are studied by criminologists, sociologists, psychologists etc. Jim Michael (talk) 23:36, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

References format

edit

Why was it changed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ifore2010 (talkcontribs) 21:30, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't know, but it should be the same format for every month; at the moment some of them are this format, some of them are still in the old format. Jim Michael (talk) 23:36, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
I have reverted them all to the old format as there was no consensus to change. As usual, it seems to be someone running amok with a WP:BOT. WWGB (talk) 00:26, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
I accept it was a BOT that effected the recent changes. However, I do not see any tangible reason to differentiate this ever-ongoing article's referencing style, from the referencing format generally sought for all other Wiki pages. Or, if there is, I suggest that it should be made more obvious. Derek R Bullamore (talk) 00:45, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Past discussion about this matter at Talk:Deaths in 2008#Bare references and Talk:Deaths in 2007#References. As I have stated previously: (1) this page is heavily edited by novice users who will no doubt screw up inline references, (2) inline references make the article much longer and therefore much slower to load, (3) bare references allow immediate confirmation of the death without moving to the reflist section, (4) no-one has shown how such a major revision will actually improve the article. WWGB (talk) 01:01, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
When I saw the format yesterday (7 May 2010), my reaction was that this page was being formatted like most of the other pages in Wikipedia. I do agree with WWGB, that inline references are easier to change as updates come in. Inline references also make for less clutter on the bottom of the page as, IMO, it's unnecessary to see the title and publication of the source, at least on this page. Including that makes for more typing or more copying and pasting as well. I'm glad that WWGB took the initiative to revert to the old method. :) Addendum: I hope that bot, if it is a bot, does not revert this page back to the other format!

Ronnie James Dio

edit

His death is not yet completely confirmed, there are many contradictory reports regarding his death. We should not post it until we have absolute confirmation of his death, or we should at least put a note that it isn't confirmed. --Starbucks95905 (talk) 19:49, 16 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Notability?

edit

A maths teacher dying getting reported in his local paper is not exactly notable! - Walter Rudin, 89, Austrian-born American mathematician, Parkinson’s disease. [8]

You'll note that he wrote two widely-used textbooks, and won a major prize in his field. If that doesn't satisfy WP:PROF, I don't know what does. Rodhullandemu 20:25, 22 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Yes, a bit of difference between a "maths teacher", as you put it, and 'Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison'. N'est pas ? Also, please sign your comments. Derek R Bullamore (talk) 20:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sources are unclear / contradictory on this. Did the hemorrhage cause him to lose his balance and fall, or did the fall cause injury to his head causing the hemorrhage? Jim Michael (talk) 18:43, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Franz Vonlichten

One of the members of the musical group E.S. Posthumus died at some point in May. When announced in July, the date was given only as "two months earlier." Is there a procedure for adding an unknown date to this list, or is it better left off? Kevinbrogers (talk) 04:12, 21 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

All deaths are recorded against a particular date, either the date of death or, where that is not known, the date that the body was discovered/death was confirmed. WWGB (talk) 05:40, 21 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
