Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because she is all over the news.

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is of general interest. She apparently is one of the wealthiest women and a public figure. Deleting the article serves no useful purpose. --213.66.127.28 (talk) 17:07, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Date of birth
Does anyone have the correct date of birth as the refs differ ?--Racklever (talk) 17:49, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have been desperately searching for a source on her date of birth, but I can't find one. Given that we know she was 48/49 when she died (depending on which source you read) we can safely say that she was born between 1962 and 1964. We could just quote that.

Her husband is 49. -18:05, 10 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.128.157 (talk)


 * I think I've found a source to verify her year of birth as 1964; see here. That website looks unreliable at first, but that page has some accurate personal information and the website's "about us" page indicates an editorial team with a lot of experience. I think it's good for WP:RS. Basa lisk  inspect damage⁄berate 21:15, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Date of Death
The date of death is unlikely to be the 9th July as stated. News reports say her body was decomposed and she may have died up to 4 days before. See http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2175284/Billionaire-Hans-Rausing-appears-court-charged-preventing-lawful-burial-wife-revealed-body-clothes-linen-bin-bags.html and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-18892046 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.65.9.67 (talk) 16:11, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Questioning of HC Rausing seems to suggest she died in early May or thereabouts. Probably gonna be in the news this evening, or already. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 13:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
