Death

Mark's husband and friends are posting on social media that Mark has died. We will add this fact and the dates and details to his article as soon as there is a published source that is considered a Reliable Source by Wikipedia guidelines. This is not meant as any slight to Mark or to any of Mark's loved ones; only that, as an encyclopedia, we have to make sure all content can be double-checked for accuracy in third-party, published sources. It's just the way the encyclopedia is structured. If you have a source and can't edit the article, please post it here and one of us will add it to the article. Condolences to all of Mark's loved ones, and thank you for your patience. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 19:47, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, in the case of a person whose notability has already been properly demonstrated by existing sources, even just his basic death notice in a newspaper's classifieds section, or on legacy.com or another obituary aggregator, would be a perfectly satisfactory source for his death. This doesn't need to be complicated at all — it just needs to be properly supported by a legitimate source. Bearcat (talk) 21:11, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
