  • Comment: Article briefly appeared on the "recent deaths" section of the mainpage. As previously discussed by both the letter of the rules (non bold link) and spirit of the rules (typically very little updating is required for RD) that shouldn't disqualify the article from DYK.

  • I'm okay with the precedent of RD not counting as ITN per DYK rules. The article is a five-fold expansion and well sourced. Hook fact is supported by this source. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:16, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
