Date of death seems incorrect; no mention of involvement with Theranos

edit

The article and infobox state he died 30 January 2018, but that date seems to be based on a paid obituary coming second-hand from the NY Times. However, Vanity Fair says here:

A few months later, on May 16, 2013, Gibbons was sitting in the family room with Rochelle, the afternoon light draping the couple, when the telephone rang. He answered. It was one of Holmes’s assistants. When Gibbons hung up, he was beside himself. “Elizabeth wants to meet with me tomorrow in her office,” he told his wife in a quivering voice. “Do you think she’s going to fire me?” Rochelle Gibbons, who had spent a lot of time with Holmes, knew that she wanted control. “Yes,” she said to her husband, reluctantly. She told him she thought he was going to be fired. Later that evening, gripped and overwhelmed with worry, Ian Gibbons tried to commit suicide. He was rushed to the hospital. A week later, with his wife by his side, Ian Gibbons died.

Other reliable sources ( 1), ( 2 ), seem to support the 2013 date. Also, this article does not mention his unfortunate and apparently innocent involvement with the Theranos blood machine scandal. --NoApostropheInIts (talk) 23:27, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Apparently there are two Ian Gibbons of similar background

edit

What I wrote above seems in fact to deal with the Ian Gibbons who died of suicide at age 46 on May 23, 2013 and is currently much in the news because of his former position as chief scientist with Theranos. He is of course not the subject of this article. If there is any accepted way to disambiguate the two with a hat note here, maybe someone would do that... unfortunately at this time there is no article on the 'other' Ian Gibbons to link to; there probably should be, but how would it be titled? --NoApostropheInIts (talk) 01:45, 30 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Proposed disambiguation page

edit

There are four "Ian Gibbons" in Wikipedia (I added a stub for the one discussed above). I propose a dab page as follows. Some renaming would be required. Comments?
