replies: text: Dude, you gotta do better than this. There's zero proof here of "anger" or age confirmation by his family. The KWSA article is not a reliable source. Never mind that Facebook is also not reliable as a Wikipedia source in general (per WP:FACEBOOK), but the post from Mark Charles doesn't even mention his age while we're supposed to take the rant of some random guy at face value that also denies Virgil had colon cancer? Sorry, no. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 06:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: but we're going to trust the random OWW website? Also, the kswa digest article's publisher has the citation that wiki requires for indipendent sources, OWW does not. Sorry i can't post the downloads from PA drivers dockets that show his picture and his court cases with 4/7/51. Read the freaking comments of the actual post that ALL OF THESE ARTICLES CITE. Yet not a single one of these articles give a cite. Gvstaylor1 (talk) 07:45, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: also I don't know how Facebook isn't a reliable source when, in every article that says he has died, cites mark charles' post...? Gvstaylor1 (talk) 08:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  Virginia Union Football's all-time stats page https://static.vuusports.com/custompages/fb/career/histcarr.htm shows a "Mike Jones" playing for them in 1972 and "Michael Jones" in 1974.  There should be a roster or newspaper articles that should definitively clear that up. Dave Meltzer also says in the Observer this week that the 1951 year is correct.Froo (talk) 14:26, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you Froo. I have been providing source after source, of stuff. but everyone thinks its ok to revert to the oww website that shouldn't be a reliable source anyways. I talked to Charles and Leturgey, and they stated the obituary will be released today which should clear things up even more. Gvstaylor1 (talk) 16:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Age confusion 

message: Could you please add this source to the article?
It’s an official obituary, with the correct birth date, from the funeral home.
Could you please also add his middle name, which is ”Charles”?
