To add unpublished details to a biography is an example of original research. (100% disagreement. A person's date of birth is not original research. DOB is a basic fact of society. It is verified daily by a wide

Weren't we just celebrating, a few months ago, how we were able to
"scoop"
all the traditional news outlets on the news of Susan Sontag's death?
That
was unpublished information (at the time).
It may be of some interest:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Andrea_Dworkin/Archive1 is the brief debate we had over whether or not to go with unconfirmed reports of her death. We predated the Guardian, the first major media to pick it up, by at least 24 hours and probably more.
(I still think we should have waited until after the Guardian published, though)
Yeah, I was thinking of Dworkin, not Sontag. Thanks. And I agree we should have waited.
