User:Kingsif/Death blurbs

Basic draft based on discussion here.

ITN blurbs for recent deaths are warranted (still up for debate pending merits) when:


 * 1) It's the Queen.
 * 2) The subject is a sitting head of state or government.
 * 3) The subject is the head of a religion.
 * 4) The death itself has its own article.


 * The Queen
 * It's the Queen.
 * Do other senior royals get a blurb?


 * World leaders
 * All the Commonwealth PMs get a say, despite their nations' head still being the Queen.
 * Past leaders may be considered depending on their impact and influence.


 * Religious leaders
 * This basically means the current Pope.
 * The Queen is also the head of the Protestant Church, but she's getting a blurb anyway.
 * As with world leaders, past Popes may be considered.


 * Notable death
 * This requires the subject to have a biography and a "Death of..." article.
 * The person will be independently famous and have a notable death (e.g. Kobe)
 * Where the recent death is otherwise non-notable, but their death is in the news, this is considered as a normal blurb nomination.


 * Numerical cut-offs
 * Debated for country population when it comes to world leaders
 * Currently unpopular for valuing impact in terms of number of awards
