Deaths needing proper citation

Via thorough browsing of the 2024 deaths category, I’ve found the following are marked as deceased and needing of proper citation. Rusted AutoParts 13:19, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Peerage websites cannot be used anyway, as they are deprecated sources. Ref (chew)(do) 23:43, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • May 22 - Vic White, 92, English motorcycle speedway rider (Death sourced on his page by Twitter)
@Rusted AutoParts:, any objection to us adding Vic White using this tweet from the World Speedway Riders' Association? The account is verifiably theirs given that it is linked at the bottom of the home page on their website, thus passes Wiki guidelines on using Twitter/X as a source. Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 09:48, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:TWITTER, Twitter (X) is only a reliable source when writing about oneself. I cannot see White writing his own death announcement. WWGB (talk) 10:04, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Price: Dead or Alive?

Looking over this list, should Jim Price be on it at all, as even his article doesn't indicate he's dead? A brief search doesn't turn up anything to confirm that he is either 2A02:8012:227B:0:18DE:830D:C096:71A (talk) 13:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The person who added his name here indicated his death was stated via forums and social media. In my opinion it's okay to leave him here given that. Unless something comes up in those areas saying the announcement was wrong or something. That's the purpose of this thread, to catalogue deaths needing a strong source that have been at the least verifiably deemed deceased in the means we can't utilize.

Hello all. Jim Price is supposed to have died in Pasadena in February 2023. We have a James William Price born in July 1945 living in Pasadena on TruePeopleSearch. If he died more than one year ago I think he wouldn't be on TruePeopleSearch anymore. What did you think? --Danielvis08 (talk) 22:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, I would not know whether TruePeopleSearch is deemed to be a reliable source. What I do know is that it seemingly is not available to view by Europeans. I suspect that 'James William Price' is hardly a unique name, so we can not be certain if it is he. There were 'death notices' posted on social media and web forums (all not reliable) around the time of his demise. They may have all been bogus, and that is why I did not edit his article nor post his 'death' here. It seems to me that he had a sizeable contribution to rock/pop music in the 1970s, so it seems logical that his death would have attracted media attention, but these days mainstream media seem to focus elsewhere. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 23:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just to add a belated PS. here. If editors would care to take a look at the Jim Price article's editing history, you will see a few unsourced efforts, largely by IPs, trying to insert 'death details'. If this was purely vandalism, I would proffer that choosing a 78 year old to 'kill off', would gain considerably less kudos than reckoning Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, or whoever is the latest pop sensation, had suddenly popped their clogs. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 22:21, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have hundreds of unlisted deaths on my profile page. I can't find time to add them all, so please have a look if you want to get your numbers up.Nukualofa (talk) 11:59, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Might there be a stronger source for Ewald Frank's death? I don't feel comfortable using one so nebulous in the subject article. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 18:45, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen worse. Countless articles use the frowned-upon social media sites Facebook and Twitter/X as sources almost as a matter of course, where they should not. At least the "nebulous source" is not social media. (I can't find any others myself at the moment.) Ref (chew)(do) 19:41, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The source doesn't show the whole name or a picture. I can't tell they are exactly referring to Ewald Frank. At any rate, I'm not signing my name with use of that source in the article. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 19:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's completely fair enough. I'm not touching the subject article's "still alive" status either. Ref (chew)(do) 20:21, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
