Anthony Drake (wiki), English school teacher who designed the flag of Saskatchewan, dead at 81.

Dad's Army – Caroline Dowdeswell (77) who played Janet King is still alive, as is Michael Knowles (85) who played Captain Cutts. The Army Game – Frank Williams MAY have been the last surviving cast member. Depends if Michael Stainton (b. 1935, IMDb) is still with us. His last role was in 2002. The GRO Index tends to suggest that he was alive up to 2021, and I'd expect his passing to be noted somewhere as he was very prolific, even though he only really played supporting roles.

Tweet reporting the death of V. Krishnamurthy (wiki), aged 97, one of India's most prominent civil servants who worked under 5 PMs, including Indira Gandhi and Manmohan Singh. Also a Padma Shri recipient (1973).

We’ve spoken about her in length on here before. There is literally a photo of her grave with name, spouse, birth and death dates.

Can't use BillionGraves alone for Besselink. There's another user vetoing it. Thanks for the other two! I've done Draper and Drayton. In their places on the list I've added songwriter Roma Wilkinson (died 2013?) and Grammy Award winning jazz producer Sonny Lester (died 2018?).

I’ll try and find a way to link this one all together. It’s definitely him. If I can find a newspaper source that mentions his spouse then it’ll all piece together nicely enough.

Yup, that’s me having that argument with him! Some Floridian golf wanker. His argument was “well it could be a distant cousin”. I mean, there’s even an article from several years prior stating that he was dying from dementia in a care home! It’s blatantly him.

If anyone wants a challenge... A list of names from my Wikipedia watchlist, who have had their pages edited with a death date/year at some point but it's been reverted back because it wasn't supported by a reliable source. If anyone comes across sources for these deaths, let me know and I'll kill them off properly on Wiki b. 1914: Hans Sommer (German S.S. officer during WWII) POSSIBLY DIED 31 OCTOBER 1987 b. 1916 Alexandra Tillson Filer (American metallurgist and collector) POSSIBLY DIED 4 JANUARY 2015 James Arthur Ewing (American politician; Gov. of American Samoa) POSSIBLY DIED 1991 b. 1918 Roma Wilkinson (American songwriter) POSSIBLY DIED 2013 Yuk-Yi Yung (Chinese-born Hong Kong actress) POSSIBLY DIED 2008 b. 1919 Ken Draper (Canadian football player) POSSIBLY BORN 1918 / POSSIBLY DIED 1983 b. 1920 Amelia Abascal (Spanish-born Mexican painter and sculptor) POSSIBLY DIED 9 SEPTEMBER 1987 Fred Kohler (German-born American inventor and author) POSSIBLY DIED 7 AUGUST 2014 b. 1921 Boomie Richman (American jazz tenor saxophonist) POSSIBLY DIED 2016 Cao Keqiang (Chinese diplomat; Amb. to Syria, Sweden and France) POSSIBLY DIED 1999 Jacinto Marques (Portuguese footballer) POSSIBLY DIED 7 OCTOBER 2000 b. 1923 Ajit Chandra Chatterjee (Indian civil servant) POSSIBLY DIED 2010 Al Besselink (American golfer) POSSIBLY DIED 10 APRIL 2017 Paul Muller (Swiss actor in Italian films) POSSIBLY DIED 2 SEPTEMBER 2016 Syed Darbar Ali Shah (Pakistani civil servant) POSSIBLY DIED 20 JUNE 1996 b. 1924 Geoffrey Drayton (Barbadian novelist, poet and journalist) POSSIBLY DIED 28 AUGUST 2014 Gerald Moore (British scholar of poetry) POSSIBLY DIED 2004 José Manuel Martín (Spanish film and television actor and broadcaster) POSSIBLY DIED 12 APRIL 2006 Mel Ford (Welsh rugby league player) POSSIBLY DIED 2000 Sonny Lester (American music producer and jazz trumpeter) POSSIBLY DIED 28 APRIL 2018 b. 1926 Klara Post (Dutch Olympic gymnast) POSSIBLY DIED 12 JANUARY 2022

He didn't obit anywhere, other than some mentions of a couple of Doctor Who sites. You dodged a bullet on that one...

Nope. Guardian obits is the opposite. Literally dozens of them do obituaries. Each of their obit writers specialises in a certain field and writes elsewhere for the publication (i.e. they don't just write obituaries all day).

Boot Hill have now also removed their obituary (which was copied from ForeverMissed). Annoyingly someone has created a FindAGrave page for her now too, copying the details from BootHill. This is how misinformation spreads...

As mentioned in the Detective thread, Leon Lissek is one for List of the Lost. He's died recently according to Equity magazine's latest issue, and yet no obit anywhere. His year of birth needs to be adjusted on the DDP too. Born in 1939, not in 1927.

Crossposting here. According to the latest Equity magazine, "Our Graham"/Graham Skidmore (wiki), the voiceover of Blind Date from 1985 to 2002, has died at some point in 2021/22, in his mid-80s.
