Agreed fully with your assessment at AFD and went to work. I was able to build upon your contributions and improved the article quite a bit. Might you consider upping your support from "weak"? Best, Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 07:44, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks for re-visiting. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 16:09, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Deaths in 2013

I'll reply to your comment on my talk page here because I have a dynamic IP address and it could change without warning. You said: "We don't remove names from the list until one month has passed." But that is not true. If someone were to add to the list, for example, the death of their next door neighbour, it would be removed right away because the list is not supposed to include every death that happens, just the deaths of notable people. If a person dies who is notable enough to have a Wikipedia page, but does not yet have one, they can be included on the list for a month in order to encourage people to create such a page. If it is not clear whether or not a person is notable enough to have a page, they can be listed as well (and the question of their notability will be settled only if a page is created for them and someone nominates it for deletion). But when a person is clearly not notable enough to have a Wilipedia page they don't get to stay on the list for a month. They can be removed immediately. The two I removed fall into that category. One is a bodyguard to the stars no one has ever heard of before he died. The other is a hockey player who has never played in a top professional league or for a national team. They are not notable, just like my next door neighbour and yours. 99.192.72.29 (talk) 22:54, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

The rule is that "Many notable people die before a Wikipedia article is written about them. The regular editors of this page have agreed that a redlink may remain for one month after the death, so that an article may develop. If there is no article after one month, then the death notice is removed from the list." If you wish to challenge it, head to the talk page. (You should probably create an account if your IP is dynamic.) Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 23:33, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

You have not read my comment carefully. The passage you quote refers to people who ARE notable, but die before a Wikipedia article is created for them. I removed the names of people who are NOT notable and, as a result, do not have an article. I do not disagree at all with the rule. 99.192.72.29 (talk) 23:40, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

It is not "if the person is notable, they get to stay, but if they aren't notable, they leave." It never says that. It says that a redlink may remain until after one month. Everybody who tries to remove a redlink gets reverted. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 23:42, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
