But in any case, [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living

eventualism on those articles). Saying we should *consciously* relax those
rules on a particular article just because the person happens to have
(possibly) died is indeed somewhat silly.
Bingo.
"I think we should conclude they're dead so I can be sloppy" is never
a good argument.
