@Matt Campbell...Is there a particular reason you replaced the existing photos of Louie Anderson and Meat Loaf? Thanks. PhillyHarold ( talk) 20:34, 22 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Should all notable non-Americans who die in the US be included in this article, as its title & lead suggest? Or should none be included? Or does it depend on whether or not they lived in the US long-term? Should Americans who die outside the US be included? The lead should make the article's scope clear. Charlbi Dean, who wasn't American, died in the US. She's been added twice & removed twice. Jim Michael 2 ( talk) 14:17, 10 September 2022 (UTC) reply

I've also noticed that this article is the largest article on Wikipedia, 60kB bigger than the 2nd largest article on Wikipedia. Any ideas? zsteve21 ( talk) 13:58, 3 January 2023 (UTC) reply

If you open the HTML code for the article and scroll to the bottom, there's a comment that says the post-expand include size is at 2097152/2097152 bytes. In other words, the MediaWiki software literally won't let the page be any longer. WP:CHOKING has a better explanation of the issue. RunningTiger123 ( talk) 03:21, 5 January 2023 (UTC) reply

This list should be a container for links to the death pages per month, as opposed to one massive entry. as RunningTiger123 mentioned, The article is at such a volume that MediaWiki literally won't let the page get any bigger than it currently is. - MountainKemono ( talk) 15:47, 10 January 2023 (UTC) reply
