Intro problem

[edit]

The intro currently says "The famously reserved Nixon developed a close relationship with Sanchez and was once described by the former president as a member of his family." The two parts of the compound predicate have different subjects: (1) Nixon developed . . . (2) [Sanchez] was once described by the former president . . . . Not only is this ungrammatical, but it is confusing. Did Nixon describe Sanchez as a member of Nixon's family, or did Sanchez describe Sanchez as being viewed as a member of Nixon's family? This needs to be cleared up, but I don't know the true facts. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 02:23, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly living?

[edit]

I've moved Sanchez into the Possibly Living People category, as he does meet the strict definition: he is older than 90 and I cannot find any new documentation on his life from 10 or more years. All articles that do reference him in recent years are about historical events with the Nixon presidency. Now, it is possible that I've missed some Spanish-language sources in my cursory research, and it would be unusual for someone of his profile to have quietly died several years ago without any mention in the press,* but I can't find anything that contradicts the requirements on the possibly living category. Does anyone have any feedback here, or possibly, any reliable sources from the last decade?

*Though I did recently learn of the case of Malcolm Toon, a very high-profile diplomat of the same era, who died in 2009 but whose death went completely unreported by the national media until 2017.--Sunshineisles2 (talk) 20:18, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
