An individual human, animal or other biological organism that has recently died may have an entry in the recent deaths (RD) section if it has a biographical Wikipedia article that is:
- Not currently nominated for deletion or speedy deletion.
- Updated, including reliably sourced confirmation of their death.
- Of sufficient quality to be posted on the main page, as determined by a consensus of commenters.
"Recently died" means their death was announced within the last seven days.
