Hey there,

What you said may be true in the sense that he's a deceased character, however this is not a rule set in stone across various wikis. Take The Walking Dead's wiki by example, even if a character has died it they are still written with "is" rather than in past tense as "was".

I've seen other Wikis that continue to refer to a character with "is" rather than "was". I know they're dead now, that fact isn't disputed but it doesn't change the fact that they are a character on the show. That standing isn't effected by their living status and that's how other wikis operate.

However, your stance is backed up by other Wikis choosing to use "was" for deceased characters. Example being the Buffyverse Wiki, where deceased characters are referred to with "was" indicating their profession and role in the series. I've found examples in NCIS and Resident Evil as well.

I'll bring this up with the admin...back when the series was still active there was a dispute between "Is" and "Was" there as well. It's been some time so I forgot how we ended up ruling.

Thanks for your contributions!
