@Drmies: I know this was copied from the Belgian WP but can we confirm her correct name? http://www.omsa.org/files/Verstraeten%20Geo%20M.pdf lists her as Aline Lily Dumont Gbawden (talk) 12:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • Interesting. I don't know how authoritative that source is but the copied document seems legit. One of the other sources I looked at said "Lily" was a codename, if I remember correctly; the problem is a lack of good sources in the first place. So I'm a bit hesitant for now, at least until we have better sourcing. One wonders what the Washington Post article used for sources. Drmies (talk) 15:27, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Gbawden: @Drmies: Henri Bernard (1969) seems to confirm Lily as an alternative name. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Reply


Well, even the last name of the woman who just passed away is up for grabs: is it Dumont or Dumon without a T, and when is the exact date of her death? Maybe the answer can be found in the following obituary — which ought in any case to be added to the reference section — but I can't read more than a couple of sentences, by which time I run into a paywall…
