[edit] Proof of death is required

According to a previous version of this article, Lee died of AIDS on 2005, however I have checked two major sources -- one linked in the infobox, the IAFD, and RAME.net's regularly updated "Dead Porn Stars" list, and both indicate that reports of Tamara Lee's death are rumors only. Given the fact that she has retired from the industry and doesn't likely go by the name Tamara Lee in her post-porn life, it is difficult to confirm these things at the best of times. Since doubt has been placed on whether she is alive or dead, we must assume she is alive until someone provides a reputable source (i.e. newspaper obituary or report from a adult industry trade publication) to the contrary. As such, WP:BLP applies. I have made the appropriate changes to the article and to the Wikiproject tag. 23skidoo 00:05, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

  • An anonymous editor has now added what I consider to be a good citation that proves the report of her death was erroneous (via a link to an adult website on which she has performed after the date of her supposed death - I stand corrected on my earlier statement that she is retired). Good work. If anyone decides to change this back, they pretty much need a reputable newspaper source or trade journal such as AVN. 23skidoo 18:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
  • That's interesting. The source, unlike most stuff to do with porn, appears to be reliable.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 05:39, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
