- hk__2 8y agoAdding a death date on the page on a well-known individual without any source is the easiest way to get quickly reverted.
- chris_wot 8y agoAs it should be.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoIndeed though if a bunch of different users are doing it, you might want to allow it with a citation needed marker. I've been to so many articles with a "citation needed" marker for years, but surely it would not be too complex for someone to find a source.
- chris_wot 8y agoActually, that's not the purpose of [citation needed]. Adding a death date without a reference is very close to violation of [[WP:BIO]]. When I created [citation needed], I didn't envision it to be used for just adding any old data or information into articles, especially this sort of thing.
