Does he still qualify under restrictions on coverage of the living and recently deceased?

He passed away exactly one year ago; is it now alright to put the information from my edit referenced above back on his page? User talk:Northern Hills 09:19, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

The header question and the question in the message are different. No, the BLP restriction does not still apply. But the addition would still come down to being based on a single statement he once supposedly made to a dubious blog. It's a "can" versus "should" thing. --Nat Gertler (talk) 12:34, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Especially since it is a dubious source that he explicitly and unequivocally contradicted in a more reliable source. While policy may no longer prohibit inclusion of this information, there would need to be consensus for inclusion and as of right now there is a very strong consensus against. If the OP wishes to post a new neutral RFC at this point, I think that it would be in-bounds to have the discussion again. ResultingConstant (talk) 15:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
