Obituary edit

Melcous,Icewhiz Is this obituary ok as a source for her death? [1] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:59, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I suspect - [2] (same, but on heraldscotland) is maybe better. There is also the funeral home which probably isn't. I'm not sure on the RSness of heraldscotland - not versed in regional Scottish publications - but it is probably OK - but you'd need someone better qualified than I on Scottish media.Icewhiz (talk) 08:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
I see no obvious fault with The Herald (Glasgow). Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:24, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Then I think I would say yes - even if the obit is family generated (as many are), the Herald would've been expected to verify that the subject is deceased (and not run a "fake death notice").Icewhiz (talk) 08:39, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Yes I would thinkThe Herald is better too, thanks Gråbergs Gråa Sång and Icewhiz for tracking those down. Melcous (talk) 10:16, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
