If you add more, just reply with a +1 (or +2, etc) below. Thanks. —Locke Cole • t • c • b 19:51, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

The number of sources is irrelevant if they're largely simply reporting his death and connection to frozen burritos, which is why I had tagged page as WP:SINGLEEVENT. The fact he co-owns the hotel seems passing mentions (and press releases) and not WP:SIGCOV. But, whatever. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 22:37, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Because only two of the sources cover his death. The other nine (at the time of your reply) pre-date his death. One of the current sources in use in the article is from 2007. —Locke Cole • t • c • b 05:17, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
