Per WP:ITNRDBLURB, "It is sometimes contentious whether a death that qualifies for "recent deaths" should instead merit a blurb." I consider this a significant understatement.

The purpose of this page will be to list each biographical article nominated at WP:ITNC for posting as a blurb, rather than RD (which only requires sufficient notability for a Wikipedia page, a much lower threshold). I will also list whether the article was, in fact, eventually posted as a blurb noting the subject's death rather than as an ordinary RD.
