BLP[edit]

I was about to remove the "living=yes" parameter from the {{WPBiography}} template, seeing how the group formed in 1917. However, Phil Napoleon continued using the group name until 1990, so there are presumably some former members who are still living. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 04:43, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
