Talk:Hal Smith (actor)

Article states that Vivian M. Angstadt was his wife. IMDB agrees, but most other results in Google are mirrors of what wikipedia says, or not reliable sources. Find A Grave shows a "Louise C. Smith" as sharing his burial plot: [1] and they say THAT was his wife. Note that his deceased son is buried there too, and it certainly looks like a husband-wife-child arrangement on the plaque. Without either source being super-definitive (although I am inclined to take IMDB over Find A Grave) does anyone have any bright ideas as to who his wife actually was, and if one of these women wasn't his wife, who was she?

A year and a half later, and the question is still unsettled. [2] IMDb can be edited by users, so it's suspect as a reliable source. I can't say how reliable Find a Grave is (it looks like it accepts edits from users, too), but there is a picture of the gravestone that bears the name "Louise C. Smith". All sources seem to agree on the dates. Looks like the article needs a solid source on this question. Willondon (talk) 02:22, 14 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Willondon,Find a Grave (like IMDB) is considered unreliable for use as sources for Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:09, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
