Flyer22 Frozen

(Reposting with information removed based on feedback at WP:BLPN.[1])

I am concerned that this edit is in violation of Wikipedia:Deceased_Wikipedians/Guidelines. The requirement is to make absolutely sure that the user in question has indeed died. We do not need to publicly make a statement either way, but surely we can all agree that the criteria for inclusion in the deceased list has not been met. The community is entitled to a discussion on this. Kolya Butternut (talk) 21:37, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kolya, you've been told to stop. You have an unhealthy obsession with this issue, and for what? What does it matter? If she's alive, we're catching the socks. And if she's dead, and you claim she isn't, that is unbelievably disrespectful. The only actual effect of removing Flyer from this list is enabling the gravedancers at Wikipediocracy. Your continued quest on this issue is disruptive, and isn't actually building the encyclopedia. Please, drop the stick. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 23:18, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not personalize this. I do not feel comfortable with unreliable information being present on Wikipedia, and there has not been a discussion about addressing this policy violation. Typically an RfC would have to take place before it could be established that the community has come to a consensus on what to do and the issue should be dropped.

I sent an RS to Alison, and I would like her to confirm that I may revert this edit based on it. Kolya Butternut (talk) 00:03, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
