Larry Edgeworth, NBC News employee, has died. Age 61. Covid-19 [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.98.176.46 ( talk) 18:11, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
The usual to-ing and fro-ing over which the "rule of three" songs are to be included here. Contenders seem to be " The Gambler", " Just Dropped In", " Islands in the Stream", " Lady" and, as a rank outsider not yet listed, " Lucille". Maybe, " Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" too. Do we use chart placings / Grammy Awards / sales / global recognition, or, as seems to prevail for a while at least on this page, editorial preferences. I can not remember which three won out for Michael Jackson and George Michael for example, or what criteria actually won the day back then. Can you ? The bouncing around does not do this page any real favours, sorry favors - Derek R Bullamore ( talk) 00:24, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
I may be ignorant like someone said, but on the Iranian wiki page for the artist it is stated he died of coronavirus. Since the Iranian contributors should have a higher knowledge of their language than Google Translate, I think we should think carefully about this.
As far as I understand, he was previously hospitalized for cardiovascular disease, he developed fever (sign of coronary disease, anyone?) and got tested for COVID. He was positive and then died. This happened in London. Now if you want to convince me "they tested coronary disease" like it was a sort of tampon, you are wrong. I'm not fine in insering a CoD which could be fake one way or another. My proposal is to reinstate the English article and not report a CoD. -- Folengo ( talk) 13:15, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
His entry keeps being reverted from "Swedish-born French" actor to just "Swedish". While I perfectly understand (possibly even more than others) von Sydow's "swedishness", this isn't a place for cinephilic debates, but one for stating factual truths. I have also been suggested to check the actor's wiki entries, all of which clearly state that he died as a (solely) French citizen. This page explicitly asks for "country of citizenship at birth and subsequent nationality". I don't even see what there is to debate, but I am not going to revert back to "Swedish-born" without support. Please let me know your thoughts. • REDGOLPE ( TALK) 13:25, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Although I'm always a strong fan of letting the unarticled stand for 30 days to see if one gets written about them, I cannot see that this subject's slim notability will ever result in a full-blown article about her (the bluelink is a mere redirect to Franklin (Peanuts). So I question her actual baseline notability for inclusion at the outset. Thoughts anyone? Ref (chew) (do) 17:14, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
Should we be using his real name (Lonnie David Franklin, Jr.)? Or his media moniker, Grim Sleeper? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 06:05, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
