At least two actors from Are You Being Served? passed away during its run. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB90:937:A695:0:5F:921C:5501 ( talk) 06:46, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
I see that recently, a contributor has added several soap opera actors who have died and whose characters were dealt with in various ways (usually, they, too, being killed off). I'm wondering that, since soap operas seem to be a different animal – daily, and in a number of instances, continuing for far longer than most episodic prime-time series – if they shouldn't have their own section vs. being included in the full list. For me, at least, it would be easier to read and decipher. Your thoughts? [[ Briguy52748 ( talk) 13:51, 24 February 2014 (UTC)]]
Whey has the death of eliserbath sladen in 2011 88.107.184.52 ( talk) 18:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
This is not a question that has necessarily arisen as yet, but I wanted to state my opinion that the criteria for the inclusion of an actor on this list be the following:
Importantly, these criteria make no discrimination based on genre or country of origin of the television show. — Gordon P. Hemsley→ ✉ 18:04, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Facts are facts. Euphemisms are words used to soften up facts you are uncomfortable saying.
I have replaced "passing", "passed away", "moved on to the next phase of their existence", "pining for the fjords", etc. with "death", "died", etc.
I don't recall if there were any "made love"s here and I'm too lazy to check.
Next up is "ballistic trauma". Yes, it is clinically accurate. No, it is not common language. "Ballistic trauma" means a projectile of some unspecified sort from some unspecified source travelling <physics stuff goes here> caused physical injury. Greg threw a football and broke Marcia's nose? Hey, that's ballistic trauma. So is a gunshot wound. If I take my niece to the doctor and phone my brother, leaving a message that she suffered "ballistic trauma", he's going to have issues with that. Say what you mean. A gunshot wound is a wound from a gun shot. Ask for a "bottle of water", not a "container of liquid".
"Self-inflicted"? I cleaned that up to "suicide" because it sounded like someone was writing around a suicide (given all of the euphemisms throughout the article). The phrase was used for several suicides (Mary Kay Bergman had the interesting "self-inflicted suicide"). This edit summary claims Pete Duel's "self-inflicted ballistic trauma" was accidental. Though I'd take issue with using the same vague wording to describe an accident and a suicide, Pete Duel provides cites saying it was suicide.
We also have a few instances where it seems the article is trying to say "I, the Wikipedia editor, don't know." "Unknown" is vague here. Presumably, no one editing here knows Stephen King's Social Security number. It is unknown to us, but it is not "unknown" in an encyclopedic sense. Presumably, King, the SSA, his accountant, etc. all know King's SSN. We do not know if Mermaid Man will return to SpongeBob SquarePants. The producers and writers have likely decided, but could change their minds. Or not. It may or may not be "unannounced" (maybe it was mentioned in an article in a small town's newspaper and we missed it). We do know that Mermaid Man has not appeared in the show since Bornine's death, as of June, 2018. - SummerPhD v2.0 13:10, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Should Fred Willard be added to this list? I believe he was still voicing Pop-Pop in The Loud House at the time of his death. -- Sstanford2 ( talk) 20:40, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. ( non-admin closure) – Lord Bolingbroke ( talk) 13:13, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
List of television actors who died during production → List of television performers who died during production – As the article has expanded to include nonactors who died during the production of television shows they were in, I think the time is right to propose a renaming of the article to reflect this.

Hi, Cant You writing in died during production, Ted Cassidy, Gregory Hines, Billy Mays, Ralph Waite, Scott Wlison, Cameron Boyce, Christopher Plummer, Ed Asner and Gaspard Ulliel 2A01:799:260:4600:81A9:8FA0:56C7:9A96 ( talk) 02:57, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
And writing making also James Gandolfini and Brian Dennehy 2A01:799:260:4600:81A9:8FA0:56C7:9A96 ( talk) 02:59, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
Can You make, On April 13 2022, that week's episode of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series Moon Knight, which featured Ulliel guest starring in the role of Anton Mogart, was dedicated to his memory with a tribute in the end credits. 2A01:799:260:4600:BC4F:71C8:A5B0:7F9E ( talk) 18:44, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Is there a way to easily convert the numerical dates to a text format? Ie. 1949-05-27 for Robert Ripley’s date of death should read May 27, 1949 or 27 May 1949 etc. Otherwise it would take a long time to do this manually. See WP:YEAR. The link also has information on how to sort those dates in a table. It would be great if someone could help with this. TrottieTrue ( talk) 14:18, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
