Hello. I removed the link to the memorial site because we generally discourage the presentation of memorials on Wikipedia; it's not considered suitable content for an encyclopedia. Typically, the links we provide should be to reliable sources, which are most often sources that have undergone peer review or are published by press outlets with editorial control.

Thanks for the info! Dmoderbacher (talk) 17:56, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I can't find any concrete link to the family in the webpage documentation; the page appears to be run by one Sam Kulok, according to the "editor notes" section. We have guidelines for external links relating to the official websites of people or institutions at WP:ELOFFICIAL, if you'd like to look more into it.

Ah, okay. I think that it's reasonable to include the site as an external link, though we'd prefer to have third-party sources as references for the biographical information, insofar as it is possible. Generally, sources from an article's own subject or the subject's family are discouraged except in fairly limited circumstances; we have more information on this at WP:ABOUTSELF. But I will include the link in the list of external links at the bottom of the page again. Chubbles (talk) 17:38, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
