@Braintic: Please see WP:RSP: IMDb is not considered to be a reliable source. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:46, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Nikkimaria
And if you stopped deleting Find a Grave sources that actually show a photo of the headstone with death date, then perhaps I might let that go.
Perhaps you would care to explain why a headstone photo is not the ideal proof of a date of death.
You deleted IMDb and FaG sources together, so I had no choice but to revert all. Braintic (talk) 04:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi Braintic, if you looked at the changes before you reverted here and here, you would see that you actually reverted the additions of replacement sources for the latter. And even if that were not the case, of course you had a choice. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:06, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
You made NO indication in your description of such replacement sources, indicating only that you were deleting sources.
From your link: "The reliability of a source depends on context. Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made in the Wikipedia article and is an appropriate source for that content."
Did you check to see whether headstone photos were included in the source? If so, why delete at all? Given that links on this page are designed only for verifying dates of death, how is that not a context for which FaG is a valid source?
If you don't like links, delete them one at a time with reason, and indicate that you are replacing it in the description if that is the case. Each link for FaG should demand a separate discussion. Braintic (talk) 08:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
