1961 death[edit]

The 1961 death date is unsourced. His Wikidata item gives the death date of 1940 with 2 references. Can anyone help verify which of these is correct? PseudoSkull (talk) 18:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The 1961 date was added by User:Moviebuff1921 without edit summary. Moviebuff1921, what was your source? If none is forthcoming, I would go with the Wikidata source and say 1940. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 22:31, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found 1961 on IMDB, though IMDB may itself be citing Wikipedia without attribution. Uninterested in untangling a saga of citogenesis, I went ahead and changed the year of death to match BnF and SNAC databases. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 00:51, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
