BLP status? edit

Per the current content of this article, Hussein Ismail was a city governor before becoming a province chief administrator during 1974–1976. Assuming he was at least 30 years old when he became a city governor, and that that was, say, at least two years before become chief administrator with the 1974 revolution, that would put his birth year at 1942 or earlier. His current age would then be 81–83. As of 2023, that means he could still be alive. If he was 40 or 50 in 1972, that would make 91–93 or 101–103, respectively, decreasing the chance that he's still alive. Currently we have a mix:

  • text in the article written in the past tense, as if he died;
  • no Category:Living person for the article;
  • a BLP warning on the talk page.

Any good sources would be welcome to sort this out. Boud (talk) 18:16, 28 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
