Death

[edit]

After seeing the earlier edit concerning Steve's death, I first looked up the death notices in the local press, but couldn't find one. However I knew him personally, and I've just spoken with his partner (Jenny) who told me that he passed away on Thursday, 25 January 2018, at St Andrew's Hospital in Adelaide. No public announcement has yet been made due to the need to contact other family members first. Bahudhara (talk) 06:46, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Bahudhara: Hello, I am sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, Wikipedia needs a reliable source, as laid out in WP:RS before posting that he died. I think I misunderstood your comment. You are telling people not to post until a reliable source is posted right? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 06:48, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Having confirmed it by personal contact, others may reinstate it, but it would need a 'citation needed' tag. Bahudhara (talk) 07:09, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
His death has now been announced on the News/Gig guide page of his website, and details for a public celebration of his life at the Gov on 13 February have been published. Bahudhara (talk) 02:34, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Bahudhara: I added it to the article. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 02:53, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
