Rumours of death

For those unaware, rumours are currently circulating on Twitter from her boyfriend Damian Oliver claiming she has passed away (with counter-evidence from @arianagrandes) Maxic💬 16:00, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sophie Anderson has passed away, confirmed by her close friend publicly just minutes ago. Jxvinylx (talk) 00:18, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As above, Sophie Anderson’s death has been confirmed by Rebecca on Instagram. There is no reason for it to not be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:AC91:8001:88B0:EAD3:C77A:7414 (talk) 00:22, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been updated with her death. RudolfRed (talk) 02:01, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As numerous people who have reverted the edit have pointed out, a person's Instagram post - regardless of if they did or did not know the subject - does not meet the notability standards for Wikipedia. What limited press reporting has been done on the alleged death only cites said Instagram post as a reference, and thus is also not a notable enough source for citation. The edit needs to remain OUT until it can be confirmed by a notable source. CouplandForever (talk) 09:43, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update needed

The lead says “She began appearing in pornographic films such as Fake Taxi and Evil Angel in 2017, later finding internet fame in October 2018…” Fake Taxi and Evil Angels aren’t films; they’re production companies. The sentence should read “She began appearing in pornographic films for studios such as Fake Taxi and Evil Angel in 2017, later finding internet fame in October 2018…” —2601:8C0:380:35C0:D47F:1AB9:F80E:1D60 (talk) 01:05, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

done Lazylaces (Talk to me) 01:07, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s been changed back. The linked articles are studios, NOT films. 2601:8C0:380:35C0:4904:FD76:6C2F:431 (talk) 15:42, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, again. Celjski Grad (talk) 18:45, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

30 men per day

She claimed to be having sex with 30 people per day, every day for 365 days a year. This was an unconfirmed claim made to a newspaper reporter by her. The highly improbable number, coupled with the self-serving, offhand remark is NOT a reliable reference. I have removed it and would hope it would not be reverted. This is NOT a good reference.

Change date of death to 30th November 2023.

Please remove name ‘Claire’ from early life.^[1] Anonymousfamily (talk) 09:38, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever wrote her real name on here and referenced it to her old businesses and addresses too is a real piece of work. Definitely needs to be removed aswell completely her real name and reference to you I think Rosiedaisyashford (talk) 18:40, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please can someone remove the references as it shows family members addresses. Maybe just remove her real name in general. That edit is only recent it isn’t needed. Rosiedaisyashford (talk) 18:44, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you just remove her real name and the references included as it gives links to her family members addresses. Stupid move whoever did that, I don’t know how to use Wikipedia or I would do it myself Rosiedaisyashford (talk) 18:43, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed that first sentence per WP:BLPPRIVACY; with references clumped like that it is hard to know what came from where. I can't actually verify that you are who you say you are, so I'd need a reliable source (although there are a lot in this article that shouldn't be there), but I have removed the day of death.--Laun chba ller 18:59, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None of her family have come out and said anything so I wouldn’t think it was. However I do think this is disgusting that someone assumes that just because they share a birthday it is the same person. There is no proof connecting Sophie with the poor family they have effectively lol doxed. But that’s still up too, it should all be removed and people should just be respectful and a little more thoughtful. 81.108.216.34 (talk) 22:17, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about random lol new to all of this 81.108.216.34 (talk) 22:19, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As were we all at one stage. I've also removed 'Claire'.--Laun chba ller 22:56, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm it is the same person that was in the original references along with her dad and sisters addresses/previous addresses. Glad to see it’s been removed. Her real name was only added here on 15th December, im not sure why. Thanks whoever removed it. I can provide proof or reliable source of who I am if needed. New to Wikipedia tho this is confusing lol Rosiedaisyashford (talk) 08:31, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Truly thankyou so much for this. Thankyou Rosie Anonymousfamily (talk) 10:19, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also thankyou for your letter Rosie Anonymousfamily (talk) 10:28, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Anonymousfamily User:Rosiedaisyashford Can I ask if you have a source for Sophie’s date of death being 30 November? If you are her family I am sorry for your loss.Manipulative Maniac (talk) 17:39, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I have her death certificate. Our family have always wished to remain anonymous so unfortunately it seems people are free to write false information and reference sources of inaccurate social media as true content which is ridiculous and extremely saddening. There is information listed on this article that seems to be made from peoples fabricated opinions who did not even know her personally. It is only the family that know the exact details regarding her death and much of her life that we have decided to keep private. So any sources that state otherwise should be treated as extremely dubious.

thankyou to everyone for your help on this, we really do appreciate it. Anonymousfamily (talk) 15:18, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry for your loss Anonymousfamily. I hope you know how appreciated Sophie was as a person and was seen as more than a “pornographic actress”. Is the anywhere the certificate is posted so it can be used a source for her date of death on here? Manipulative Maniac (talk) 00:20, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymousfamily, Rosiedaisyashford, Manipulative Maniac, Launchballer. I've opened a talk page discussion under this one specifically regarding her death date. Please keep that discussion to that section and this one to the article's protection status and protection request. Thank you. Helper201 (talk) 20:33, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Death date

I've removed her death date from the introduction and the infobox as we don't currently have a reliable source that gives her specific date of death. I'd like to ask other editors to please help maintain this omission of any death date unless and until a reliable source is provided as a citation that specifically gives her date of death. Thank you. Helper201 (talk) 20:25, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Children

Can someone please remove this from the infobox? It shouldn't be here without evidence. No evidence has been given. 2A00:23C6:E884:2A01:3C7D:1B90:50B3:E7A9 (talk) 18:08, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is sourced, per the first paragraph of Personal life. —C.Fred (talk) 18:14, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source reference for name

There is no source reference for the name Karen Anne cook. Where has this name been sourced from? Why added if no genuine reference? Anonymousfamily (talk) 15:10, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed it.--Laun chba ller 17:12, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
