Names are reported under the date of death. Names under each date are reported in alphabetical order by surname or pseudonym. 1) Add only those meeting Wikipedia notability guidelines. Include a reference to a reliable source.[a] [b] If a Wikipedia article for the subject does not yet exist, reconsider whether the subject is actually notable. If so, consider writing an article yourself. Those without a Wikipedia article should not be added. 2) Add entries in alphabetical order by family name, and avoid over-linking. As such, do not add links to nationalities, common occupations, common causes of death, or the year of birth. Rather, include only "links that aid navigation and understanding".
