Possible death

@Shonatiger: Any reliable sources for reports of death? There is at least one working front-end to Twitter that is consistent, but Twitter is not a reliable source (under its old or new name). Boud (talk) 17:39, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the Columbia Institute of African Studies' Facebook page sharing the news. The post they are sharing is from the personal account of the professor who chairs her department. Misraq (talk) 02:07, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a hate-speech-network post that still doesn't count as a WP:RS. Social media pages are not normal web pages. Someone should explain to the department chair the difference between a hate-speech-network post run by an authoritarian organisation versus a public web page run by a university, which is, in principle, a self-governing community of scholars rather than a corporation legally bound to maximise revenue no matter if promoting genocide helps with revenue maximisation. FB/Meta is not run by Columbia University. See WP:USERGENERATED: Examples of unacceptable user-generated sources are Ancestry.com, Discogs, Facebook, ... If you are in contact with the department chair, then please try to explain the difference between a hate-speech-network and a university web page. Boud (talk) 14:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It should not be difficult for Uni of Columbia faculty to convince University of Columbia IT staff to add a note about decease to the subject's official webpage: https://ias.columbia.edu/content/centime-elleni-zeleke . Especially the chair of the department should be able to do that. Boud (talk) 15:03, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They have just added her to their In Memoriam page. Misraq (talk) 02:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That helps, thanks - but the year of death is missing. Someone who reads the source in 5 or 10 years' time will only know that Elleni Zeleke died in 2024 or earlier. Boud (talk) 07:41, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed The use of two different archived versions of the page should be acceptable to establish the year of death. Boud (talk) 08:48, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
