Category:Authors with approximate death dates

This is a maintenance category, added by a template to group pages for maintenance (non-navigation) purposes. It is automatically hidden on categorized pages.

These authors have approximate death dates. The deathyear parameter has been entered with, for example, "circa Y", a decade or even a century. This may be because the precise death date has been lost or because it was simply unknown at time of editing. It is possible that further research will lead to the discovery of the precise year of death which, when entered into the author template on the author page, will remove the author from this category.
