→Death: Suggestion.
:::It's not at all uncommon for tyrannical dictators to have doubles. If I remember correctly, Castro did as well, so probably these "sightings" were performed by his doubles. I can't say with certainty that he did or did not die 2006, but it looks suspicious. Dictatorships like to pretend that their "beloved" dictator is still alive even after his death, because he is somehow too good to die. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 13:41, 15 December 2016 (EST)

::::I agree entirely. However, I believe that CP should adopt the most accepted line for this page. Should conclusive evidence show that he died in 2006, or some other time, we most definitely should use that. At the moment, sparse evidence suggests that he died in 2006. The vast majority of evidence says he died November 25th. [[User:Stirlitz|Stirlitz]] ([[User talk:Stirlitz|talk]]) 14:05, 15 December 2016 (EST)Stirlitz

::::Just a suggestion, but why don't we put the commonly accepted date of death and in parentheses put something like "reported" or "commonly believed", and then we add a footnote explaining the strong case of why the reported date is not the case? This would be somewhat similar to [[Larry McDonald]], only that we would make the earlier death date more visible. Just a suggestion, and I won't fight the current article, but still something to consider. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:35, 15 December 2016 (EST)
