I originally removed the unsourced date of death from the article, because I could not verify it through a Google News search. It later came back in, and I have not removed it (although I did mark it as needing a citation), because I believe I know the real-life identity of the IP editor who has been working on the article, and I know that person to be a friend of the subject. I believe this to be a case where the newspapers (specifically the Times) have not yet learned of the death, but will within a few days. I ask that other editors join me in assuming good faith for a short while until a citation becomes available and can be added to the article. I have no reason to suspect that there is any deliberate misinformation. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:51, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well I have so far, having removed the living person category myself. IP Edits seem good faith, and at age 89 quite likely. Note that I was raising the issue here with WWGB (talk·contribs) at the same time you were posting here and have left WWGB a link to this discussion. - 220ofBorg08:20, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
