Subject's birth name

From [1] I read the subject's birth name is 'Keith' but 99.58.96.12 continues to change it to "Lakeith". I have no connection to the article, just patrolling changes. I hope another editor can put up a good reference and clear up the issue with name. Ifnord (talk) 04:18, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ifnord: Websites like those get that info from Wikipedia itself, although Wikipedia can be a bit inaccurate at times, I was fixing Tay Keith's real name with proper sources like Tidal and BMI that 99% of the time have the correct name of the person. Hope this answers your concern. 99.58.96.12 (talk) 04:30, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It may be better to just remove completely without better references. --Ronz (talk) 16:37, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He died?

Yes. He was found deceased in his apartment in Nashville.

Theres rumors saying he died ~2026-35575-40 (talk) 21:27, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I was just looking into this too. If/when there will be coverage in WP:RELIABLE sources, we can amend the article to reflect these rumors. Until then, keep the article as is. nameless⁷³⁵⁷ in solidarity 21:36, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find a reliable source for that. If you can provide one it will be added. Cheromaniii (talk) 01:02, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Describing Keith's death as "untimely"

Pinging @~2026-35571-76: (who added the phrase) and @Cheromaniii: (who recently reinstated it). I have issues with the use of the term "untimely" in WP:WIKIVOICE. To me, it comes across as MOS:EDITORIALizing as it adds a subjective, emotional description to what should be an objective encyclopedic entry. I realize that I am more of a newcomer to Wikipedia in comparison to Cheromaniii, but to me this seems the correct way to analyze things. If you disagree, let me know below. nameless⁷³⁵⁷ in solidarity 03:06, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I see, you can replace untimely with something like early or sudden, or remove the word entirely. Cheromaniii (talk) 03:10, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
