There is a new article on the death of John Savage, former premier of Nova Scotia. When I saw the article, my first thought was that the actor John (or is it Jon?) Savage died. Now an administrator, I suppose I am obliged to add the link to the main page under recent deaths. Yet, I do not want to frighten fans of the actor. Yet, we have the article, so maybe...
Question: do we post the names of any person who has recently died, if we also have an article -- or are there limits.
No disrespect to Canadians, of course.

The actors are 3 Johns and 1 John, though only one of the Johns has a significant filmography. Honestly though, I hadn't heard of the actor(s) until you raised the point. Who gets listed is probably a matter of common sense. Some time ago we had a big debate over famous Canadians; with DW involved it was no fun.
