No reliable secondary sources that you are still alive I'm afraid
- leoc 4mo agoTo be fair, there actually is an exception specifically for just this kind of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:BLPSELFPUB https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:BLPSELF... .
- ralferoo 4mo agoThat policy itself seems wrong though. It seems to imply that anything someone claims about themselves on a personal blog doesn't need verification. People often have a vested interest to lie about themselves, and often people may not remember historical details about their lives as accurately as they believe they do. That said, "no really, I am still alive" seems like something that should be trusted as a source.
