Which is plainly wrong. I can immediately name [[George Harrison]] and [[John Lennon]] who are in a similar situation. People die. It's not noteworthy.

Now, okay, her role is more prominent than a clip of [[The Beatles]] in ''[[The Chase]]'', but when you have to qualify a statement in terms of ''amount of screentime'' your fact just isn't noteworthy. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 18:09: Sat 22 Dec 2012</span> | Which is plainly wrong.

Removals[[edit]]
Pen name[[edit]]
Removed note claiming "Agatha Christie" was a pen name. Per Wikipedia, the author was born Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller, and married Archibald Christie in 1914. --75.168.153.104 19:23, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Are we sure DWU fiction doesn't claim it's a pen name, though? Wikipedia doesn't outrank actual narrative here.
