Dead or Alive?

Please answer the question. Replay7 18:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• CNN and Google news don't have anything.
• Newsfromme says he's dead.
• Dead or Alive Info.com says that it's rumoured.
• Eye of Polyphemus cites the Newsfromme site.
• Harris Online, another blog, also is citing the Newsfromme blog.

If something's posted on Mark Evanier's newsfromme.com, it's more than likely true. The man is an industry veteran with contacts everywhere, and has frequently posted obituaries and death notices for comics and TV related personalities before it was reported in the mainstream press. Evanier is a credible source, despite what a recent new editor claimed. TheRealFennShysa 18:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I am more concerned that we get it right, rather than quick. Newsfromme is a blog, apparently, and per WP:RS, blogs are not to be considered reliable sources. It should hit the MSM soon, and if it does, we'll include that info. --rogerd 19:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

It's now in the L.A. Times - --68.72.70.2 21:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Death info has been restored, and the article has been unprotected. --rogerd 21:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Star Trek character?

Wasn't Calvert Deforest in Star Trek playing "Bones"?

No, you're thinking of DeForest Kelley. Natalie 03:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Who, coincidentally, is also dead. Dismas| 04:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

He's dead, Jim......I'm a doctor, not a wikipedia editor!Dereks1x 18:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

IMDB says he and DeForest Kelley were cousins. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.87.248.140 (talk) 01:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC).

Filmography

This article has really grown since before this poor man's death. However, there used to be a filmography list, which has been deleted. That's a good thing to put back. If there is legimate discussion on why it shouldn't be there, please say something. I'll refrain from putting it back to allow discussion.Dereks1x 18:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

done --rogerd 18:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

"King of the Z's" seems to have been deleted. Can we bring it back? It's what got him on Letterman. There was a link to a citation, so I'm not sure why it was removed. All it says is those edits were a clean-up. ???

Call collect

He was in many comercials for 1-800-CALL-COLLECT in the mid to late 90s.

• It's 1-800-COLLECT

Full name?

As he was born to Calvert DeForest, should his full name end in Junior or Jr.? - LafinJack (talk) 00:36, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Midnight Cowboy

I'm pretty sure that one of the faces in one of the Times Square scenes in Midnight Cowboy is Calvert DeForest. It's possible, right? Any confirmation? Speck22 (talk) 17:53, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
