Date of Birth/Date of Death Declined

I realize that IMDb takes DOB/DOD very seriously.

Here's my contribution number:

#210128-192441-622000

I included the URL of his "Boston Globe" obituary as the explanation.

Here is that URL:

https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/bostonglobe/obituary.aspx?pid=197240065

The obituary mentions several of his credits which IMDb has.

Should I have explicitly mentioned that fact about his credits?

The obituary also noted place of birth and place of death which I submitted too.

Here is a different URL for the same obituary text:

https://www.devitofuneralhomes.com/memorials/stephen-lyons/4447756/index.php

I was made aware of his recent death at the end of a national rebroadcast of a NOVA episode; there was a "In Memoriam" note with month/year of birth and death.

Hi therichmeister -

 

I reviewed the evidence you provided and have now approved both birth/death dates you submitted.  The data should be added live to the site shortly.

 

Cheers!
