message: If he pronounced his name as /vᵻˈɡoʊdə/, like pl:wygoda, not /ˈvᵻɡodə/, maybe his parents were actually Polish Jews? The boundaries of Russia didn't used to be what they're now. What do the sources say about their towns of birth? 195.187.108.4 (talk) 14:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Descent 

message: survived by is a present tense phrase, Vigoda's family is still living, therefore Vigoda's family has survived past, longer than Abe. Saying otherwise is a BLP violation to the surviving family.  Mlpearc (open channel) 19:11, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

text: We shall have to agree to disagree. His family hasn't been wiped out, since his death. Therefore, he is survived by them. GoodDay (talk) 21:01, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

text: Maybe a RfC is needed, we don't need "Will this work ?" We need to figure out the correct way to phrase this.  Mlpearc (open channel) 16:16, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: We've already figured out both sides think their way is correct. An RfC will just (slowly) determine which side is bigger. I like my way, because it (quickly) kills the whole issue. Mention what family he had/has/will have had, and by not mentioning their deaths, I don't see how anyone but the fringest minoritity could reasonably assume they didn't/don't survive him. Readers get the same info, and no editor has to lose the argument. If you do decide to call an RfC, this counts as my "vote". InedibleHulk (talk) 17:06, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Is this even notable ? I can see "interned at", "Resting place" and "He died on (date)" but, this just seems trivial and not needed.  Mlpearc (open channel) 19:31, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vigoda's funeral was held... 

message: In an anonymous edit by User:67.214.0.209 the page was edited to add unsourced claims of Vigoda being "Hispanic" and "Sephardic", seemingly in conflict with his known Russian Jewish ancestry. Someone else removed "Hispanic" and I removed "Sephardic" as neither claim has sources or appear to be true. If adding these back, please cite a source. -- Jlick (talk) 01:24, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
