__NOTOC__ |
|||
The following is a list of '''notable deaths in April 2015'''. |
|||
Entries for each day are listed <u>alphabetically</u> by surname. A typical entry lists information in the following sequence: |
|||
*Name, age, country of citizenship and reason for notability, established cause of death, reference. |
|||
<!-- |
|||
********** Please read before adding a name to this list ********** |
|||
Only those meeting the [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|Wikipedia notability]] guidelines are listed, with a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable source]]. If there is not already a Wikipedia article for the person, please reconsider if the person is actually notable, or consider writing one yourself. |
|||
NOTE: Causes of death such as "old age" and "natural causes" should not be cited unless stated in the reference. |
|||
The intent of these pages is to report notable deaths. Tragic deaths, while unfortunate, do not necessarily make the deceased "notable". If you report the death of someone who does not already have a Wikipedia article, please consider starting one, provided the person is notable, with other third-party sources than the obituary. |
|||
Alphabetical order please. Please avoid [[WP:OVERLINK]]ing. Therefore, do not wikilink nationalities, common occupations, or common causes of death, instead only adding "links that aid navigation and understanding". Thank you. --> |
