notable deaths[edit]

At the time of writing there were 80 notable deaths on the list. This sparql query could be used to check if that's still the case. 1Veertje (talk) 18:11, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1Veertje, could you clarify what the "The list also included:" section criteria is? Listing any redlinked people seems like opening a gateway to non-notable entries. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:34, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I included the people directly linked to a notable person already described on Wikipedia. I also included Artemis Nazarian because they were mentioned in the article about the school already. As you can see I didn't mark these as red links, though Emma Seifrit Weigley (Q95889043) might make the grade. Especially Donald Reed Herring, brother of Elizabeth Warren, seems worth highlighting to me. I tried to included a short description for each because there's a history of defining women exclusively by their relationship to their husbands, and I wanted to avoid doing that. 1Veertje (talk) 04:57, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@1Veertje: Yeah, that makes sense. I worry a little, though, that it might be confusing to readers to have a "here are some notable people" section and then a "here are some more people" section. I'm also unsure whether it's merited to give more description to people merely linked to a notable individual than to a directly notable individual. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 05:06, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
