Filippo Raciti[edit]

My contribution about this death was deleted because not notable, my fault was not to add any reference. However I still think is a notable fact since is gonna cause -hopefully- a lot of consequences [1] [2] I understand that the event is near the borderline to be not noteworthy.. so take a look to reference and let me know. Marra 09:40, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I put it in again, with the references Marra gave. Raciti may not be notable enough to deserve an article about him in Wikipedia, but his death definitely is. --Goochelaar 09:53, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Some people "become" notable only when they die, as a result of how they died. (See Jennifer Strange who died on January 12, 2007.) If the cause of death is highly unusual, we often see the person listed as a notable death. Que-Can 02:45, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Masao Takemoto[edit]

Why has Masao Takemoto been listed as dying on the 2nd Feb and the 4th Feb? which is the actual date of death? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jennifer45 (talk • contribs) 17:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

He died 2 Feb; duplicate has been removed. WWGB 23:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake, I created the article about him and my Dutch source said he died in the weekend, so it had to be either 3 or 4 and I did not see his name in one of these days yet. As the source published it on monday I assumed he most likely died the 4th, which I should have checked, in fact his name was already mentioned in the article.

Anna Nicole Smith[edit]

8 Feb Unknown cause at this moment. Reported on Eonline.com [3]

Who says she died of a sleeping pill overdose? Its not even been half a day. I don't think anyone knows exactly what she died of yet. --tess 22:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Andrew McAuley?[edit]

On the 9th someone added this "Andrew McAuley, 39, Australian ocean kayak adventurer, missing at sea." I think it should be removed for two reasons. One, he's not famous in any way or shape, and two, he has not been confirmed dead nor has the search for him been fully called off. So I am going to remove him, if anyone has a problem with this, just revert my edit.--Azslande 01:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some people only become famous because of the way they died. I suspect Mr. McAuley may be (or become) one of these. Sometimes these people stay listed with the Deaths article, and sometimes their listings are deleted. Que-Can 01:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that nobody should ever turn up on this list until they're either confirmed dead, or legally declared dead. But whether Andrew McAuley is notable or not is a different issue. Some people become notable by undertaking record-breaking (or, as in this case, record-creating) feats that are inherently risky ventures that could end in their death - and this is looking like one such case. If he had got to NZ safe, becoming the first person to kayak across the Tasman, then of course he would have been notable. Is he any less notable if he died in the attempt? As far as I know he was the first person to ever even try. I think he's notable for that alone. JackofOz 01:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Oliver Tomlinson[edit]

I've removed Oliver Tomlinson from the list because he does not seem to be notable. His son LaDainian Tomlinson is notable but that does not transfer to the father; the link provided (this one) says nothing about him save his name and age. Sam Blacketer 23:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gregg Petrocelli[edit]

Is this guy really notable? Bobo. 19:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think that he should be removed. Such a minor thing as a high school basketball oach shouldn't be recognized on an encyclopedic obituary. --Austinsimcox 20:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Henshaw[edit]

poor Alex has seemed to have died twice - listed as dying on 26/2/07 but linked article states died 23/2/07 -- user:Jennifer45 1/3/07

Sorry about the edit, but I found the "poor Alex" comment by Jennifer45 to be in extremely bad taste...really not Wikipedia-worthy. You're right: Jennifer45 is the one who should edit her/his comment. Que-Can 16:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
extremely bad? how?? even if it was meant sarcastically it wouldn't be particularly bad taste. as it stands presently, it's pretty much completely innocuous. tomasz. 16:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The comment "poor Alex has seemed to have died twice" is an attempt at a joke about someone who has just died. That, to most people, is considered bad taste, and not needed in Wikipedia. It's up to Jennifer45 to fix it. Que-Can 17:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
you perceive it as an attempt at a joke. that doesn't mean it is. it's not "up to anyone" to fix it. it's up to you to get over it tomasz. 18:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why the hostility? Why should I "get over" my POV re the Jennifer45 comment? I have my opinion, you have yours.Que-Can 20:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
yes, but i'm not telling people what they should "fix" and not. tomasz. 21:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
it wasn't meant as a joke - just a comment - and not really in bad taste either - it's really up to the people who add death reports to check their facts - i'm only making a comment re the error

Angeline Barrette[edit]

If Ms Barrette is notable, surely there must be at least one mainstream reference to her passing. Yahoo Groups is a "closed" reference that must be joined to be read. It's not like I am attempting to remove the death entry, I am just asking for the citation to be in the public arena. "It enhances the credibility of Wikipedia if the reader can speedily verify the veracity of a given fact by use of an outside source with a simple click of the mouse". (Wikipedia:Citing sources) WWGB 02:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinks?[edit]

Why do people use Wikilinks for persons without a link???→ R Young {yakłtalk} 11:59, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

generally to inform people that the person in question has no article and therefore to encourage them to write one, with the rationale that if they're important enough to have their passing noted on this page, they're generally also important enough to have an article.

John Macleod of Macleod[edit]

Can we please leave this entry on for a few days (or even weeks) as an article is being prepared,he is a notable person (just do a news search on the BBC website) it is simply the case of him not having a wikipedia article yet mwarby 19:36, 1st August 2007
