My goodness it's all a bit confusing because the Wiki name and generally used name has been extended in the DDP - I guess with the family name.

 

Definitely need more Latin Americans on the Forum to help with these!

Well, I do not want to act like a smaet aleck, but DDP sorts Spanish people by the (last) mother's name and most Russian people by the (second) father's name.

 

Maybe this is compensatory justice.

Kay Hawtrey, Canadian actress died yesterday (27th June) at the age of 93 according to an edit that has now been reverted.

Seems to have taken on mainly minor roles. Appeared in Police Academy 4 and was one time married to English actor John Clark (b. 1932).

Not actually Wikipedia but the Dr Who Guide claims Children of the Stones co-writer Trevor Ray died in 2019. Anyone seen anything to back this up at all? My search skills are failing at it.

 

Can confirm via a query to DWM that Trevor Ray died in December 2019. So the Doctor Who Guide is correct.

Going through the DDP emails, some brought up this Wiki edit for broadcaster turned Yewtree jailbird Stuart Hall last year as its by "a normally reliable editor". Now I'm reasonably sure Hall's death would have been major news but I'll pop this here in case anyone gets bored and wants to outright debunk it. Or find out he did somehow die of pneumonia to  a badly worded edited on Wiki and no one noticed...

Smells like a hoax for all the reasons you suspect but also because after his date of death it says he "is" - that's really shit editing if it's kosher

Helen Yate, British Olympic swimmer supposedly dead at 99. The edit has been reverted but Canadian Paul has scrubbed her off his personal list which tends to confirm it’s true.

 

She was the oldest female British Olympian (and the 2nd oldest overall after Jasper Blackall, who just turned 100).

Seems to have come from the Oldest Olympians FB which is found via this Twittertweet: 

I mean on the back of this I have no option but to add her to the round up - and today's the day it gets brought forward.
