Talk:Hayden (musician)

message: Ryerson's name was changed from "Ryerson Polytechnical Institute" to "Ryerson Polytechnic University" in June 1993.  I do not know the specific date in June.
Hayden attended Ryerson up to spring 1993.  The school was definitely named "... Institute" the entire time he was attending classes.  I believe his graduation (convocation) ceremony was held in June 1993 - the same month as the name change.
I recorded the original statement that Hayden graduated from Ryerson Polytechnical Institute.  Another Wikipedian changed this to "Ryerson Polytechnical University".  This is definitely wrong as the school was never named this.
Although very unlikely, it is possible that the school's name change came days before Hayden's graduation and the new name was reflected on his degree.  If someone can confirm this unlikely possibility, then please provide a reference.
Until then, I will change it to:
Hayden received post-secondary education at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (now Ryerson University) in Toronto and received a B.A.A. (Bachelor of Applied Arts) degree in Radio and Television Arts in 1993.

thread_title:  Ryerson's official name at time of graduation? 

message: The provided citation for Paul Desser's Official Obituary points to a cgi generated search page which is completely blank.  The given url is apparently the one reached after a search on www.classifiedextra.com, which redirects to www.classifiedextra.ca for me.  A search for "desser" under the obituaries in both languages returns no results on December 4th, 2006.  A brief googling gave no confirmation of the report of Hayden's death. Without adequate citation, I feel that that claims of Hayden's death must be removed.

replies: text: Some caution is needed here, because the reason the page protection was added in the first place was that the death hoax crap from ten years ago (which I know you already knew about) started up again in 2018. So I've reduced it to "pending changes" — edits by new and unregistered editors requiring approval — but we can't completely drop any monitoring as long as somebody out there is this determined to claim that you're dead, because it's very likely that they'll just try again given the slightest opportunity. Even the original recipe version back around 2010 was a process of hoaxer hoaxes, Wikipedians revert, hoaxer comes back to rehoax, Wikipedians re-revert, hoaxer comes back yet again to re-rehoax, so they clearly ain't giving up.
