A note about the date of death

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. - 220 of ^Borg 08:20, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent.

Here's another "Beate Gordon, a drafter of Japan's Constitution, dies at 89". The Mainichi - 220 of ^Borg 11:37, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But off course it was already on the page.

Please change the page title to "Beate Sirota Gordon" for consistency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Araiguma1 (talk • contribs) 02:45, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Page name

Is there any object to moving the page to Beate Gordon or Beate Sirota Gordon (with redirects, of course)? Sources all use her married name (Gordon). So far, the New York Times and The Japan Times use Beate Gordon, while Forward and The Japan Daily Press use Beate Sirota Gordon. I'd be inclined to go with the former. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 03:38, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
