Death date

[edit]

Walter's date of death was incorrectly reported as the 22nd, when it was really 08/21/2020.

This is a side note, but whoever keeps changing Walter's date of death to the 22nd, please stop, it is incorrect. I am his nephew, David Luhr, and I was there at the hospital with Walter on Friday, August 21st, 2020, the day that he died. We just want his page to reflect his accurate day of death. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:15c0:8dec:140c:e17e:6444:6121 (talkcontribs) 19:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. The problem is that a published reliable source - the NME, here, has stated explicitly that he died on Saturday (August 22). Now, that might be right or wrong, but it's Wikipedia policy to accept sources like that, rather than uncorroborated claims from private individuals. Perhaps you could take it up with the NME here. Obviously, if they publish a correction, we will publish it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:03, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
