Another obitu-article! --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 23:20, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are so many notable people without articles still that sometimes it takes their death (and the resulting flurry of easily-accessed online articles) to spur an editor to action. As more news sources and archives hide behind ever-higher pay walls, this trend is inlikely to reverse. - Dravecky (talk) 01:13, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
