RFC on Jim Henson Infobox[edit]
{{rfc|soc|bio}} Should the infobox for Jim Henson include a cause-of-death field?
Enter Yes or No with a brief statement in the Survey. You may engage in back-and-forth discussion in the Threaded Discussion field.
Brief Statement for Yes[edit]
- Yes. His cause of death was national news not just for who he was but how he died. There are many reliable references on just his cause of death such as... [1] [2]
As you can see stories on just the cause are written on the subject. I remember it as Flu shoots went up after that. I grew up poor so we never got flu shoots, except after Henson died. I still remember that as I and many other kids got them due to his cause of death. His cause of death is not only a major significance for the Henson's notability but even to this day its even still brought up in pop culture. Family Guy is one I know off the top of my head. Search Youtube for "Family Guy - Wrong Sounding Muppets" for example as you-tube link is not allowed. ContentEditman (talk) 20:59, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
Brief Statement for No[edit]
The template documentation provides guidance for when this parameter should be used: when it is significant to the subject's notability. There is no indication that is the case here: he was already notable for unrelated reasons prior to his death, and had he not been an otherwise notable person it is unlikely that this death would have made him notable. The bar for inclusion has not been met. Additionally consensus for inclusion has not been achieved, and the existing talk discussion shows a rough consensus for exclusion.
