:::Sorry, disagreed. This is encyclopedia, not a prose. Devil is in details. If you want citation, pelase place tag. Outright deletion is for clear nonsense. The technical details you deleted was written by someone of certain expertise. This person may be mistaken if he wrote off his dead (so you may want to request an independent verification), but deletion of detail just because you don't like without discussion is not an option. "Trivial bits" is your personal derogatory judgement; other people call it "techical details".
