Edits to Deaths in 2017

Hi Giant Bernard,

I would like to explain why I have been removing your additions to recent deaths. Firstly, consensus for that page is that editors use one source per death, and put each death on a separate line. You did that, but the source used must also be reliable. Blogs, social media posts to not pass this standard and should not be used as a source on any article or list on Wikipedia. I have reproduced one of the frequently asked questions posted to Talk:Deaths in 2017, because it is relevant to this discussion.

Q: I read on Twitter that a notable person has just died. Can I add their death to the list?

A: Material about living persons (or recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced is removed immediately and without waiting for discussion (WP:BLP). Blogs and social media sites are generally considered to be unreliable. Every death listed must be supported by a reference from a reliable, independent source.

If you have any other questions, please reach out to me on my talk page. Happy editing! Vycl1994 (talk) 02:41, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Okay. Thank you for your note. --Giant Bernard (talk) 06:34, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
