Jady Goody

I'm going to assume the edit you made to her page was good faith, but it is definitely inappropriate to add that catagory to her article at this point. Besides the fact that she is alive, cancer patients have been known to outlive their prognosis on multiple occasions so you actually have no grounds for adding her to 2009 deaths now so I have subsequently removed that catagory.
