We ought to split this into two categories : one for people who are actually still missing (whether presumed dead or not), and the other for people who we merely don't have the information on - but could find out with further research. The two Nazis currently in the category fall into the latter - the others are all actual people where the historical record hasn't yet got a year of death. Morwen - Talk 22:25, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, i think Category:Possibly living people, Category:Disappeared people, and Category:Year of death missing cover that, though with a lot of overlap. --Phroziac . o º O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!) 16:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
But year of death missing is for dead people who we don't know the year of death for, and disappered people includes historical disappeared people who we can be pretty certain have died. (e.g the Princes in the Tower). Morwen - Talk 16:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

At what point do we assume someone to have died of old age? --BDD 18:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I've been using about 105 years old. --Phroziac . o º O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!) 22:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Sounds reasonable. --BDD 21:20, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


I thought Osama Bin Laden was strongly believed to be alive. Damian Corrigan 18:56, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

How about Elvis? I strongly believe that he should be included. If only the stupid people from Pluto hadn't kidnapped him....

Jim Morrison? Possibly. Tupac Shakur? Probably not.

[edit] Missing?

What about Jesus?
