Cause of death[edit]

As per the documentation of Template:Infobox person, |cause of death= should only be included in the template when it is significant to the subject's notability, not when it is a routine illness. This case appears to fall into the latter camp so the parameter should be omitted. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:04, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Show us the Wikipedia policy that say this. George Custer's Sabre (talk) 04:17, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant text is in the page outlining the usage of {{infobox person}}, Template:Infobox person/doc: "Cause of death.... should only be included when the cause of death has significance for the subject's notability, e.g. James Dean, John Lennon. It should not be filled in for unremarkable deaths such as those from old age or routine illness, e.g. Bruce Forsyth, Eduard Khil. " Nikkimaria (talk) 11:33, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
