#'''Support''' - Broadly support. Although the meaning of 'events relevant to the subject' is open to interpretation, and will probably lead to more arguments. [[User:G-Man|<font color="blue">G-Man</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:G-Man|<font color="#00BFFF">?</font>]]</sup>
#'''Support''' - first choice, choice 1 also acceptable. Birth and death years are relevent. [[User:Hipocrite|Hipocrite]] ([[User talk:Hipocrite|talk]]) 14:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
#'''Support'''. Again, the issue here is relevancy. However, here I have decided to go for option 2 instead. I disagree with the part in option 1 regarding birth and death years. The birth and death of someone or something, etc. can often be used as markers for an era of influence, and/or such. For example, knowing that [[Philip C. Johnson]] died in 2005 lets me know that, with the exception of post-humous works, there are no works by him after that year that he will be directly or personally involved with, since he's already passed-on, and that any works after that year will be, at most, influenced by him ''but not'' directly or personally worked by him. --[[User:A.K.R.|A.K.R.]] ([[User talk:A.K.R.|talk]]) 16:34, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
