Reports of death
We need a reference to a reliable source in order to state that she has died. This is mandatory and non-negotiable. Cullen328 (talk) 22:07, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

I used it to footnote the death date at the top in this case because information (including on her own media sites) has been non-existent. I had wanted verification all day. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by GloriaCobain (talk • contribs) 00:29, 5 March 2023 (UTC)


 * I've added a few initial reactions and tributes from social media, we will hopefully get more solid news sources by Monday. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:13, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Why do we need "reactions" to her death? It's not as if she was a U.S. President or somebody highly prominent on the international stage like Desmond Tutu or the Pope? I really don't think it adds anything to the article copying Twitter reaction posts. --Jkaharper (talk) 10:19, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It would be fine to add some of it back if RS are reporting that in my opinion. - Indefensible (talk) 16:58, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I also think those covered by secondary RS may be included. Innisfree987 (talk) 19:20, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I'm busy collecting them in my sandnox space. Hoowever it's now bedtime at my end so I'll continue tomorrow. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 20:50, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I've found a quite comprehensive obituary that also lists further sources (including a few more tributes, an official White House statement too). Take a look here -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:15, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
