The hook and the article are the right length and referenced. 500 books is hooky and the Basque link is interesting. No evidence of close paraphrasing but there is of a QPQ. I added Peaceray to the credits and tweaked the hook. No picture available which is a pity. Good to go IMO Victuallers (talk) 15:18, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata appears to have incorrect information

Note that according to Wikidata she died in 2019, sourced to "National Library of Portugal" and dated 13 December 2020. I know no way to check where the information came from, as there's no more specific source, but it seems very unlikely to be correct - see description of searches at User_talk:Peaceray#Wikidata_has_killed_off_one_of_your_centenarians!, and the fact that no-one has added a death date manually to the three existing Wikipedia articles about her. (Their infoboxes have a death date, pulled from Wikidata). PamD 17:54, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Spanish article has her in a "2019 deaths" category, the Catalan article has no date categories, and the Basque article has "Living people"! PamD 17:57, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that in Spanish Wikipedia categories are added automatically from the Wikidata in the infobox, as they don't seem to be in the code of the article. Ouch. PamD 18:02, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to find a corroborating source for the "National Library of Portugal" citation for her death date in Wikidata. http://urn.bn.pt/nca/unimarc-authorities/html?id=112853 does list a field, 200 #1 $aSésé,$bMaria Teresa$f1917-2019, but does not list a source. I have not found anything with these Google searches:

I have not examined all the results thoroughly, but nothing obvious about her alleged death has popped up. Peaceray (talk)
