== ITN recognition for ] ==
== Have there been RfCs or similar discussions for verification of death? ==

Hi Jkaharper. I'm wondering if you're aware of any RfC's or similar discussions on how to properly verify the date of death for a biographical article when it's extremely likely that the subject has died, ] being an example. Given the standards of ], I don't think we need to be careful. --] (]) 18:32, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|Hipal}}, in the past I used OTRS to create tickets to upload death certificates in some instances (usually for British subjects who died completely off radar). It's been years since I've had to do this as I usually ping leads to obituary writers in the media as soon as I hear about passings. The OTRS system is now the Volunteer Response Team (VRT), and I'm not quite sure how the process works nowadays. Berniece Baker Miracle is a tricky one because she died nearly 8 years ago now, so it's no longer newsworthy for the press. Whilst I'm well equipped with the death indexes for England & Wales, Scotland and France, the U.S. ones are harder. Her death record isn't on Ancestry yet as about 10-15 years need to have passed for it to become public. I wouldn't know how to go about requesteing a certificate from the Asheville registrar (there must be a way as TMZ do it all the time, most recently with Betty White and Sidney Poitier). I approached her daughter, Mona Rae Miracle, via email yesterday (using the contact details on her personal website). BUT, she's now in her 80s, and her website has not been active for years, so I do not expect to hear back. That was my backup idea, because you can also create a ticket for personal correspondence as evidence. I've kept the page on my watchlist and I'll keep racking my brain on it. Maybe another option is to take the 2 sources we currently have to ] and see if we can get approval for their use. Whilst the sources aren't great, they are consistent with one another and there appears to be no conflicting information elsewhere. Hope this helps? Thanks --] (]) 22:33, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
