 * right you are, but unfortunately I can find no other sources for the subject's date of death, including Ancestry.com. This raises questions about his notability, but for the time being I'm not prepared to challenge it. Hall really hasn't gotten much coverage in reliable sources, not even in 1946-47 apparently despite the massive publicity given to Best Years of Our Lives.Coretheapple (talk) 21:13, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Notability
I learned of Hall's death by seeing his name and picture on TCM recently with other deceased film personalities. There are no obituaries or even death notices of which I am aware and only one recent article in a magazine of questionable reliability. I'd very much like there to be an article on this subject if possible, but I've had a heck of a time trying to find material on Hall in reliable sources, not even on the date of his death. in May 2020. I can only find one article occasioned by his appearance in Best Years of Our Lives and nothing in film books. The source for date of death is IMDB which is not a reliable source as correctly noted above. While I'm not prepared to nominate this article for deletion at this time, I did want to raise the issue, especially for the attention of article creator. ProQuest shows an Art News article of unknown depth, but it is not available full text as far as I know. Coretheapple (talk) 16:42, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * the obituary seems reliable enough and it's detailed so I guess we'll stick to that and see how it goes. It's been many months since the reported date of death so it's unlikely we'll get anything else from the media, unfortunately. We may have to keep a look out for announcements of his artwork being auctioned, however, as that might attract the media. I also found this.

 * We can certainly wait to see if anything further turns up. It concerns me that we don't have a reliable source on the date of death. Not even SSDI. Coretheapple (talk) 19:50, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
