Death Salon

I can't prove it of course, but the death salons have been around much longer than stated in this article, and they were not created by "The Order of the Good Death". Funny story: when my brother was dying he figured it's be fun and informative to attend one of those salons, so that people would have a change to meet someone was doing the dying. He was quickly disinvited: "This is for people who are new to dying. We don't think they're ready for you." So maybe we can tone it down a bit with the promotion, OK?

I found an article that shows that "Death Café's" have been reported on as early as 2010. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/never-say-die-far-from-it-in-paris-death-caf233-2121850.html Vexations (talk) 03:30, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that the Death Salon is a brand that these people have put on their own unique way of having these conversations. I agree, death cafes and discussions are an older thing. Jessamyn (talk) 15:21, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jessamyn, my understanding is that this is a organization that has had a total of 5 events: Los Angeles (2013), London (2014), San Francisco (2014), Malibu (2015) and Philadelphia (2015). They have trademarked the name "as an attempt to maintain the integrity of the idea we have created". It just wasn't really their idea. It was their "brand".

No disagreement from me. I think you're right. Jessamyn (talk) 15:56, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DOB

I could not find any birth details such as the date and place of birth. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:57, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete

All references are either to her own website or to her own org. A m i t 웃 22:40, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is plainly not the case, as can be seen by reading the list of references used in the article. Numerous references are in reliable sources, for example this article in The Atlantic, this article in Library Journal and this article in American Libraries Magazine. I've removed the speedy deletion.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:48, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Early life?

Building on the DOB comment from a few years ago, I note that this article, ostensibly a biography, begins with its subject's bachelor's degree. There is no date or place of birth, nothing about her parents, siblings, early education or other formative experiences. I find it incredible that a 21st-century American would truly have such a biographical gap: the information is out there, was someone simply too lackadaisical to get it?
