Maureen Murphy update
Could you explain how actress Maureen Murphy (I know there are more than one, so this is the url https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0614512/) is listed as having died in January 2019, but there is no record anywhere online that I could find of her death, including SAG-AFTRA records, which would presumably have them as she worked on legitimate productions and films. I was wondering what source was provided by whomever made the entry which was accepted by an administrator because I can't find any basis for it.

The obituary notice Ed provided would be enough for our editors to verify and list the death date, we also received a different source confirming the date with the initial submission, however, it's our policy not to disclose contribution details with a third party.
In this case, based on the sources we have, we believe the death date listed for Ms. Murphy is accurate. If you ever encounter a death date on the site that you believe is wrong, please submit a deletion request with your explanation and our editors will be happy to take a look.

"One other took 3 months of 4 contributors looking in their spare time." -- Just thought I'd mention how impressive that is. I had no idea you guys worked so hard. Wish I could join the team to trim and clean-up but I don't have a degree in computer science.

Just a reminder regarding Maureen Murphy (VII) (1939–2019) that I am positive the dates of birth and death are incorrect because they refer to a different woman of the same name, albeit one who was never an actress, director, SAG and/or AFTRA member, or had anything to do with the film and/or television industries.
This discussion began at: https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/maureen-murphy-update but I just observed that an article has been created on Wikipedia (not by me, I stopped editing Wikipedia back in April, 6 months ago) which points to the fact that Maureen Murphy (1939-2019) was a swimmer (sportswoman) -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maureen_Murphy_(swimmer) -- not the relatively unknown actress and daughter of Gladys Norman, who was born January 20, 1940 and is still, as far as is known, alive. Anyway, just wanted to add this new evidence to the record/paper trail.
Yours.
